The L.A. Rams were led in sacks last season by outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, but the reality is that Floyd never lived up to his billing as a top-10 edge rusher pick in the 2016 draft. Maybe that is the fault of the media or the Chicago Bears, because Floyd’s strengths were never “blows up the offensive line and gets to the quarterback”, but he did manage to accumulate 29 sacks in three years with the Rams.
But not all sacks are created equal and Floyd was always more of an opportunistic edge rusher than one who blew up plays on his own, which was never more clear than the brief period of time when the Rams had Von Miller.
