Packers DL Rashan Gary's Efficiency Pressuring the QB Has Been Awesome so Far
By Kevin Aquino
Packers DL Rashan Gary is quickly making a name for himself, rising up the NFL linebacker ranks as a rookie.
Though Green Bay's defense is towards the middle of the pack at 13th in the league through the first two weeks (after a tough end of game against the Vikings), Gary has been a standout on that front. Gary's been indirectly outshining Broncos linebackers Bradley Chubb and Von Miller, who have yet to record a single sack this season.

Bradley Chubb: 3
Von Miller: 2
Rashan Gary: 3
Look, I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
Having the same amount of pressures as Chubb with nearly 30 less pash rush snaps is absurd to begin with, but the fact that Gary is operating at this high of a clip as a rookie is mind-boggling.
Sure, it does say a lot about the struggling Broncos -- who can't catch a break -- but Gary's hot start can't be understated, even if it's only been two weeks into the season.
