NFL Analyst Maurice Jones-Drew Projects 15 Sacks for Colts’ Yannick Ngakoue in 2022

The Indianapolis Colts bolstered their pass rush in a major way when they traded for former Las Vegas Raiders defensive end, Yannick Ngakoue.

At just 27-years-old, Ngakoue has 55.5 career sacks since entering the league in 2016 and has recorded a minimum of eight sacks in each of his six seasons as a starter.

Ngakoue is also coming off one of his best seasons, garnering 10 sacks, 63 QB pressures and 23 QB hits in 2021.

For context, the Colts as a team had a total of 33 sacks in 2021. Only the Houston Texans (32), the Jacksonville Jaguars (32), Kansas City Chiefs (31) and Detroit Lions (30) had lower totals.
