Rashan Gary
What else needs to be done for Rashan Gary to establish himself? In victories over the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs over the last two weeks, he has performed in front of a nationwide audience with 3.5 sacks, four quarterback hits, and two forced fumbles.
He is a revolutionary.
Gary was recovering from a season-ending injury, so he didn’t play a full-time role until Week 7. However, that didn’t stop him from creating. Despite just playing 23 snaps during the game, Gary recorded his first of two three-sack games in Week 3.
With 12 games played, the former first-round pick has an amazing nine sacks and 17 quarterback hits. Considering how few plays he had earlier in the season, it’s even better.
Gary comes in sixth among outside linebackers. He ought to be far higher.
