The Pittsburgh Steelers continued their busy free agency with the signing of Markus Golden, addressing the much-needed experienced depth on the edge that we’ve been clamoring for at Steelers Depot. Today I wanted to provide some data context to what he provided last season as a pass rusher, along with Pittsburgh’s edge rushers as well.
Let’s get right to it, starting with 2022 pass rush snaps and pass rush wins versus blocking from PFF to get a gauge of the position comparatively.
Right away we see Golden was above the mean in both data points last season when he played in all 17 games, with the 16th rank last season in pass snaps (514) along with tying for 15th in pass rush wins (70).
