Willie McGinest ranks Everson Griffen among NFL’s five best pass rushers

Willie McGinest, who now works for the NFL Network, knows a thing or two about pass rushers. He collected 86 sacks himself over the course of his NFL career for two different teams, so when he starts ranking pass rushers, he probably knows what he’s talking about.

His most recent piece for NFL.com does just that, and it places a member of the Minnesota Vikings on a pretty lofty perch. McGinest has defensive end Everson Griffen as the NFL’s fourth-best pass rusher entering 2017, trailing only Von Miller, Aaron Donald, and Khalil Mack.
