PFF ranks Rams' defensive line best in NFL
PFF ranked the Rams' defensive line as the best in the NFL with their star-studded unit up front.
The Los Angeles Rams have been ranked as the top defensive line in the NFL by Pro Football Focus (PFF). This achievement is largely attributed to the team's acquisition of Myles Garrett, who has proven to be a force on the field. While Garrett and his teammates still have work to do to solidify their dominance, PFF named them ahead of established units from other teams including the Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Seattle Seahawks.
Last season, the Rams had the second-highest graded defensive line in the NFL. Their trio of edge defenders, including Myles Garrett, Byron Young, and Kobie Turner, combined for 227 pressures throughout the season. What sets the Rams apart is their depth along the defensive line, boasting Pro Bowl-caliber players at every position.
With Garrett's influence, it is anticipated that his teammates will be able to capitalize on their top pressure rate and convert it into sacks. Additionally, the Rams have bolstered their defensive back room during the offseason, providing defensive coordinator Chris Shula with more options to execute blitzes and pressure the quarterback.
