Since the Minnesota Vikings gave him the opportunity to be a starter in 2014, Everson Griffen has evolved into one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers.
In the past four seasons, Griffen has racked up a total of 43.5 sacks. Only Chandler Jones of the Arizona Cardinals has more sacks during this same time period among all NFL defensive lineman (46.5).
Recently, NFL Media’s Willie McGinest ranked who he feels are the league’s 10 best pass rushers heading into the 2018 season. McGinest, a former pass rusher himself, gave Griffen the number four slot.
