New York Jets fans often plead for John Franklin-Myers to be moved back to defensive tackle on a full-time basis. Franklin-Myers broke out in 2020 as a defensive tackle, rushing the passer at an elite level for an interior defensive lineman. But since the start of 2021, Franklin-Myers has played most of his snaps on the edge while only moving inside for obvious passing situations.
Franklin-Myers has remained a solid pass rusher on the edge, but he is not quite as effective from the outside as he is on the interior. Here are his pressure totals and pressure rates over the past three seasons, according to Pro Football Focus:
- 2020 (IDL): 51 pressures on 353 pass-rush snaps = 14.
