The Las Vegas Raiders signed Yannick Ngakoue to a lucrative contract this offseason for him to be their best pass rusher.
But many in the Raider Nation don’t think the veteran, who has 45.5 sacks in five NFL seasons, will lead the team in sacks in 2021.
In our poll asking which Las Vegas player will lead the team in sacks this season, Maxx Crosby — the Raiders’ third-season defensive end — beat out Ngakoue. Crosby received 49 percent of the vote, while Ngakoue received 43 percent of the vote. Defensive ends Clelin Ferrell, Carl Nassib and rookie Malcolm Koonce predictably lagged behind.
