Who is the top edge defender in the 2021 NFL Draft?
We have seen a number of different prospects get the nod from a variety of different draft analysts. For the early part of the 2020 college season, the consensus top EDGE was Gregory Rousseau from Miami. Rousseau was expected to be the next great pass rusher to come out of college following a break-out sophomore campaign that saw him rack up 19.5 tackles for a loss and 15.5 sacks.
However, he opted out of the 2020 season and slipped down the draft board as draft analysts spent more time with his tape and grasped just how raw he is as a prospect.
