2025 Best NFL Pass Rushers: Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt Lead Rankings
National Football League 2025 Best NFL Pass Rushers: Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt Lead Rankings Published Aug. 20, 2025 6:32 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Every great NFL defense seems to have a top-tier pass rusher wreaking havoc on the field, but which ones are the very best? We polled our FOX Sports NFL writers to answer that question, with each ranking the top 10 pass rushers in the league entering the 2025 season. The top two vote-getters are the exact same from last year's top 10 list , and there are two brand-new names in the top 10. So, let's take a look at how our writers ranked the top 10 pass rushers in the league as we begin to unveil our top players at several positions before the 2025 season kicks off. 2025 Best NFL Pass Rushers Jared Verse won AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2024. (Photo by) Carmen Vitali: Verse may have been somewhat of an unknown throughout the season outside Los Angeles, but after winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, he has catapulted into the mainstream discourse and began solidifying himself as one of the league's best defensive linemen. Verse only had 4.5 sacks last year, but he registered 18 QB hits, 11 tackles for loss and forced two fumbles. If that's what Verse is capable of in his first year in the league, there's no telling where his ceiling is going forward. ADVERTISEMENT 2024 rank: Unranked Will Anderson Jr. totaled 11 sacks in 2024. (Photo by) Ben Arthur: After two strong seasons, Anderson is starting to get recognized as one of the league's elite edge rushers. The reality is that he's just now scratching the surface of how good he can be. The 23-year-old saw his sack total jump to 11.0 last season from 7.0 in 2023, when he won AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. He's a high-motor player that's very good in the run game as well (tied for ninth with 16 tackles for loss last season). 2024 rank: Unranked Danielle Hunter totaled 12 sacks in 2024 during his first season in Houston. (Photo by) Arthur: Hunter is on the wrong side of 30 — he turns 31 this season — but he's still playing at an elite level late in his career. The former third-round pick has recorded double-digit sacks in each of the past three seasons, including 28.5 across the past two years with the Texans. He tied Micah Parsons for a league-best 19.1% pressure rate last season among qualified defensive linemen, according to Next Gen Stats. 2024 Rank: 7th (-1) Nick Bosa, a five-time Pro Bowler, won AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2022. (Photo by) Eric D. Williams: Bosa remains a dominant force up front for San Francisco defensively. He finished with a team-leading 54 pressures and averaged the quickest pass rush get-off of his career (0.69 seconds) in 2024, per Next Gen Stats. However, the 27-year-old also averaged a career-low pressure rate of 15.3% last season, generating more than five pressures in a game twice last season after accomplishing that at least five times in every season he has played at least 10 games. Bosa's 62.5 career sacks are third-most in 49ers franchise history. 2024 rank: 5th (-2) Aidan Hutchinson totaled 11.5 sacks in 2023, and is looking to bounce back after sustaining a season-ending injury in 2024. (Photo by) Vitali: We saw the stress Hutchinson's injury put on defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn in Detroit last season. After Hutch went down, the Lions blitz rate kept going up — it had to. They could no longer win at the line of scrimmage with just four without Hutchinson. That, in turn, put more stress on the secondary, and it's no wonder the defense fell apart in their first postseason game, even after getting the first-round bye. Hutchinson was on a historic pace last year, too. At the rate he was going, he would have finished with 25.5 sacks if he had stayed healthy. There's no doubt about his impact on this defense and his place among the NFL's elite edge rushers. Here's to hoping he's fully healthy coming off injury this season. 2024 rank: 9th (+3) Trey Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season. (Photo by) Greg Auman: All the headlines are about his contract issues with Cincinnati, but he has had a remarkable second chapter to his NFL career there: four Pro Bowls in four years and 57.0 sacks. Since 2021, only Myles Garrett (60) and T.J. Watt (58.5) have more sacks. What's incredible is that Hendrickson had 6.5 total sacks three years into his NFL career — the fewest total for any of the 45 players with 100 career sacks is William Fuller, who had 11.5. Hendrickson is 30, but needs only 23.0 sacks to join that fraternity — an easy two year's work by his recent standards. If the Bengals want any shot at an improved defense to help them get back in the playoffs, it likely has to start with working something out with Hendrickson. 2024 rank: 8th (+3) Maxx Crosby has led the NFL twice in tackles for loss. (Photo by) Henry McKenna: The 27-year-old missed time with an ankle injury last year but hasn't fallen far in our rankings. I'm excited to see what head coach Pete Carroll can do with the elite edge player. It might just be a career year in the making for Crosby, who posted 14.5 sacks in his last full season in 2023. Could he be hunting for 20.0 this year? 2024 rank: 3rd (no change) Micah Parsons has been voted to the Pro Bowl in all four years of his NFL career. (Photo by) Ralph Vacchiano: He will likely get a new contract that makes him the highest-paid defensive player in the game, and with good reason. There might not be a more complete defender in the game today. Parsons' sideline-to-sideline speed and pursuit are unmatched among linebackers. He can cover when necessary too. Even though he's not turned loose as an edge rusher all the time, he's great at it when he is. He's had 52.5 sacks in his four seasons — including 12.0 in just 13 games last year. He's a defensive weapon that every coach has to game-plan against, which isn't easy because he can wreck offenses while lining up just about anywhere on the field. 2024 rank: 4th (+1) T.J. Watt has led the NFL in sacks in three separate seasons, and won AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2021. (Photo by) Auman: Watt just got a massive, well-earned extension after leading the league in sacks three times over the past five years. He'll likely pass his brother, J.J. Watt, in career sacks sometime this season, and with seven Pro Bowls, he's a future Hall of Famer. There's one glaring void in his résumé: postseason relevance. Only 30 players in NFL history have more sacks than Watt, and all of them have played more than his four career playoff games. Myles Garrett only has three, so Watt isn't alone, but he deserves to not only make the playoffs but experience his first playoff win with Pittsburgh this season. Now, will he? 2024 rank: 2nd (no change) Myles Garrett totaled a league-leading 22 tackles for loss last season. (Photo by) Auman: Will Garrett end up as the next Joe Thomas, a Hall of Fame career spent without any real playoff experience in Cleveland? Garrett has had at least 14.0 sacks in four consecutive years, is already at 102.5 for his career and his new four-year, $160 million contract has him locked up in Cleveland through the 2030 season. Only two players in NFL history have more than 160 sacks, and he has a real shot at joining that group. Even 10.0 sacks a year through the end of his current contract would do that. Garrett boasts six Pro Bowls and four first-team All-Pro nods through his eight seasons, but will he ever see a conference championship game? That remains to be seen. 2024 rank: 1st (no change) 2024 NFL Positional Rankings 2025-26 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aidan Hutchinson, Lions: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total) Micah Parsons, Cowboys: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total) Myles Garrett, Browns: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total) T.J. Watt, Steelers: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total) Will Anderson Jr., Texans: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total) Jared Verse, Rams: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Maxx Crosby, Raiders: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) Nick Bosa, 49ers: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total) Jalen Carter, Eagles: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) Trey Hendrickson, Bengals: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) These rankings were compiled by: Ben Arthur ( @benyarthur ) Greg Auman ( @gregauman ) Henry McKenna ( @McKennAnalysis ) Eric D.

Months After ESPN Opt-Out, MLB May Increase Its National TV Exposure
When ESPN and Major League Baseball opted to end their long-time media partnership in February, both parties appeared to be at an inflection point. MLB's national relevance felt like it was shrinking. ESPN was looking to cut costs on some of its larger properties. What a difference six months makes, though. On Tuesday, Yahoo Sports' Kendall Baker reported that MLB was close to finalizing the outstanding portions of its media rights agreement for the 2026-28 seasons. The highlights, via Baker: What It Means For MLB It's hard to fully evaluate these deals just yet, if only because we don't have the financial details. But it seems highly likely that NBCUniversal will pay MLB something near to what it was getting from ESPN ($550 million per year) and Apple ($85 million per) under the previous arrangements. Netflix's portion would also add to that total, as would ESPN, buying Overall, MLB is highly likely to make more money from this reworked deal compared to the existing ones. Even if not, though, the move is still a win for baseball. It trades limited streaming reach on Apple TV+ for potential broadcast reach on NBC (assuming it's not a Peacock-only window). And then swaps cable for broadcast's larger audiences on Sunday nights. The Home Run Derby also gets a potential upgrade that puts it in front of a younger audience on Netflix. Among MLB's previous gripes with ESPN was that it was 'not pleased with the minimal coverage that MLB received on ESPN platforms' (via a memo from commissioner Rob Manfred). Appearing on NBC would potentially solve those issues. NBC's Sports Resurgence NBC shuttered NBC Sports Network at the end of 2021 as it was losing NHL rights and consolidating programming and leveraging Peacock. Yet since then, it's made aggressive moves to expand its sports footprint on TV. Over the last few years, NBCU has acquired broadcast rights for the Big Ten Conference, NBA and WNBA, and now potentially MLB as well. The company now has so many tentpole sports properties that it is considering launching a cable sports network again (according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal). A foothold with MLB on Sunday nights would also give NBC dominion over that night of the week year-round. Sunday Night Football would hand off to Sunday Night Basketball, which would give way to Sunday Night Baseball. Given what NBC has already managed while turning SNF into the NFL's biggest weekly showcase, it's easy to be optimistic about it doing the same for the NBA and MLB, elevating those matchups as well. ESPN's Everything App Gets Even Bigger ESPN manages to have its cake and eat it here, shedding the pricey national TV deal with MLB while picking up what could be a lucrative out-of-market product in Leading up to the launch of ESPN's new standalone streaming app, the company has been busy making the offering unavoidable for sports fans. In recent months, ESPN has added WWE events to its roster and acquired NFL Media properties like NFL Network and NFL RedZone (while also giving up 10% of the company to the NFL). By tacking out-of-market MLB games onto the service much in the way it has already done with various niche and college sports rights plus the former out-of-market games, ESPN very much plans to win over fans with the sheer volume of content available within this streaming app. Even more notable: Acquiring these out-of-market games allows ESPN to completely circumvent the need for a national media rights deal with MLB. If there's an interesting matchup one night, it can simply utilize the app's interface to give it the premium treatment and direct audiences there. MLB rights, much like the NHL rights it already has, also give ESPN an even longer list of recognizable logos for viewers to see while scrolling through the app. In an environment where all consumer expenses are being scrutinized, the idea that you'll get most MLB and NHL games on top of main ESPN feeds – even if you don't need them all – is an appealing sales proposition. Regardless of the financials involved, though, all sides seem to score a big win here. Assuming the sport doesn't implode when the collective bargaining agreement expires at the end of 2026, of course.
