NFL Edge Rushers Rankings Highlight Ravens, Texans, Packers Standouts

The NFL's top edge rushers for 2025 include notable talents from teams like the Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans. Green Bay's Rashan Gary, ranked 19th by Pro Football Focus, has been a consistent pass-rushing threat with 32 sacks over four seasons and remains a key player in the Packers' defense. The Baltimore Ravens boast a strong pass rush led by veteran Kyle Van Noy and rising star Odafe Oweh, both ranked in the top 30 edge rushers, with Van Noy achieving a career-high 12.5 sacks in 2024. The Ravens' success in the latter half of 2024 was partly due to their edge rushers' pressure, and the addition of rookie Mike Green is expected to enhance their unit further. Houston's defense features a formidable duo in Will Anderson Jr., ranked 9th, and Danielle Hunter, ranked 12th, whose performances have been instrumental for the Texans. These players are among the NFL's elite edge rushers, with their production playing critical roles in their respective teams' defensive successes.
