Josh Uche had three sacks during all of last season. On Monday night against Arizona, he posted three sacks in one game.
The breakout season that the Patriots have been waiting on from the 2020 second-round pick out of Michigan has arrived.
“I told you all I’m not our best pass-rusher,” Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon, who leads the NFL with 14.5 sacks., told reporters on Monday. “Our best pass-rusher is emerging.”
Uche now has 10 sacks, which is tied for eighth in the NFL. He and Judon are the only teammates with more than 10 sacks each.
