This is going to be 10000x more interesting than whatever the game today has to offer

[@connorrichendollar5456]

Jets and dolphins usually have good games

[@ricardorivera7549]

brother its tim boyle and tua going against a stud defense, which usually turns him into....tim boyle? idk betting the under tho@@connorrichendollar5456

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGentile]

@@connorrichendollar5456 in 2002, yeah

[@nickfrisa4066]

​@FriendlyNeighborhoodGentile well as a ravens fan it'll be fun to root for the Jets, I like watching all the other division leaders lose. The eagles beating the chiefs was fantastic for me lol

[@tomasbernath365]

Well end of the half was pretty fun

[@patrickmoney1894]

As a Steelers fan, I think your evaluation of TJ passes the eye test. Watching the games, it doesn't feel like TJ is hounding the quarter back almost every play, but when he does win, he absolutely makes the most of it.

[@BigBroKuma]

💯 escaping TJ feels impossible 😭

[@user-ms4lr1hf6p]

Doesn't help when the offence is out there for 14 seconds and the deffence is out there for like 20 minutes a game

[@theallamerican8328]

Finally not a delusional steelers fan

[@mikemeds2323]

Would love to see more tier video, trying to go from a casual nfl fan to a diehard one and your videos has made that possible so much easier!

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Love to hear it!!

[@Captainkebbles1392]

​@@ThatFranchiseGuyyour a 10/10 creator boss. Even when we disagree I can always tell you are coming at it with mindset of trying to be as thoughtful as possible. Appreciate you.

[@tjkinny33]

Always appreciate non-offensive skill position player analysis. Everyone loves to talk about QBs and WRs, rightfully so, but there's so much more to football that make huge, meaningful differences that a lot of people just gloss over or ignore. Thanks as always!

[@Beefy_McWhatnow]

2019 dline class has been one of the most impressive draft groups to come out. I Wonder who the Raiders took that year with the 4th pick

[@jackgeurtz2623]

Surely they didn’t reach on a late 1st round prospect from Clemson, right?

[@Davdaphone]

Meanwhile the saints took CGJ the pick before Maxx Crosby… tough for us

[@Tryhard_hater]

​@Davdaphone cgj is great but the saints are loaded on dbs and couldn't use him

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Omissions that should have made the list: BJ Ojulari & Joseph Ossai as Potential #2 Prospect Leonard Floyd & Kyle Van Noy as #3s

[@tobiasrothenberger8615]

i am firmly convinced this stuff is by far your best content purely because you just provide casually amazing analysis and using the pff grades, love the less pre-determined format

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

So glad to hear it! More to come!

[@jackgeurtz2623]

Love these tier videos. Any chance you’re planning to do it for positions that aren’t talked about as much (i.e. safety, IDL, IOL, TE)?

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Absolutely

[@samuel_shemire]

safety please.@@ThatFranchiseGuy

[@BadBart2217]

This was fantastic, I recommend doing this for other position groups. I really enjoy the use of the PFF stats.

[@samchaim8272]

Another great video! Can’t wait to see more position groups in the future. I think I do like the way you did the qb tiers a little more just because you can get across more of an idea of where the player falls in relation to each other when you’re revealing them in chunks then explaining. Both are great though!

[@TheoKayserNFL]

love these!! you should do this for other positions in the future

[@aidanvitticore3475]

Fantastic video, as per usual, I really liked doing the ranking as you went, watching the thought process unfold was great.

[@t4d0W]

Its a good list. Almost conforms to that scatter graph of edge rushers double team rate in relation to how quick they win. Even in those type of advanced metrics that measure the success of an edge rusher, Garrett is blowing out the top guys out of the water this year. So I always saw him as his own tier this year. Then guys like Nick Bosa, Crosby, TJ Watt and Parsons as elite with what else they add to the defense.

[@nickgreen9080]

I feel like you could have had a "Designated Run Defender & #3 Edge" Tier

[@michaelscalzo6716]

Love these tier lists great job Marcus

[@jschmidt0211]

new subscriber here, thanks for the breakdown. I would love to see more tier videos - this is great! I've got a 7 year old son who is trying to absorb all these names and this tier approach would make it much easier for him to digest. He shouted "interception!" in his sleep last night, so I know football is on his mind 24/7 - literally!

[@adamsalmanowitz2855]

We need some Offensive Tackle rankings

[@timonkeller8927]

Awesome content, thanks a lot, Marcus!

[@dannyg6939]

Cant wait for more of this type of content!!!

[@unknownuser69420.]

I really like this concept. I’d be interested in this type of video with other positions. Mainly RB, WR, DB, LB

[@davpo8931]

I think you're definitely underrating byron young's potential. Not sure why his age disqualifies him from being a future number 1 if he has those elite athletic traits and is still learning the game

[@samuelchristie570]

I also think he’s shown more, already, than a bunch of guys over him. I’ve seen more of him than McDonald definitely

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]

Dude Byron Young is so fascinating, I think it's fair to say I'm underrating his potential. Just wish he wasn't already turning 26 next year.

[@davpo8931]

@@ThatFranchiseGuy Agreed! He's been a nice contributor early on so I'm hoping his maturity and learning alongside aaron donald accelerates his development a bit

[@dazzadance]

Fun Stream. Enjoyed the format too. 👍🏻

[@impqct7150]

Really enjoyed this format

[@db123OG]

Love the tiermaker vids

[@bakermayfield6hunnitdan6er24]

I was looking for a recent edge rusher rankings video for like an hour last night and the only one I could find was your off-season one from 7 months ago. Lo and behold, the very first recommendation I get from KZbin is this video. Technology is fascinating yet terrifying lol.

[@mandomerlie1997]

Love these videos! CBs next???

[@Daywade99]

Awesome format

[@davidmacarthur705]

This way was fantastic, keep it this way!

[@lousanus8781]

Best football content on KZbin and it’s not even close

[@agenta1263]

TFG is the best NFL channel youtube he outworks everyone else I’ve been subscribed since 6k subs

[@trey.b.17]

dope ass video concept TFG 🔥

[@JackFarrell2299]

Yo been waiting for this since you teased it on Twitter

[@raging_crocodile2081]

We need a long snapper tier list

[@nyanthony]

i've never seen a tier list so overwhelmingly agreed on LOL if chase young ranks where you placed him, there's a decent chance he will extend with the niners, so i'll take it! i also agree that drake jackson showed some great flashes and will eventually shape out into a true #2 by the end of his rookie contract, especially under coach kocurek!

[@Miniath]

Great work! wish Leonard Floyd was on the list, feel like hes been the bills most productive pass rusher this year def deserves some credit for the impact hes made.

[@agenta1263]

The baron browning tier that cracks me up, not in a negative way but it’s so funny to me

[@JackFarrell2299]

Wide Receivers at some point? Probably the next most interesting position group

[@danielr3587]

I need a list like this for cbs

[@Ramboo000]

I like watching u make the list like this way more. Thoughts on Malcolm Koonce? He’s coming in these past couple weeks

[@brendodeanso4506]

Just in time for my flight. Thanks Marcus!!!

[@echow4rrior429]

Oooooh baby this is going to be good!

[@kingofgondor13]

i like this format

[@ukeguy79]

Duuuuude! I’m so hype for this! Can’t wait for you to do a receiver one as well.

[@RollTerps]

Great pre jets dolphins content

[@burnerfrenzy3392]

i like when you pre make them, more susupenseful

[@moose9672]

Need WR tiers next

[@aidanvitticore3475]

Great video, but I am wondering where Leonard Floyd is, he’s the Bills sack leader right now I believe

[@GMandyou]

Amazing .. Thank you

[@mr.irrelevent8956]

Based on your rankings, the cowboys and Steelers have the best edge duos, that checks out

[@tayloroldham4842]

Love the video! Hate Josh Sweat’s ranking. Look at the PFF numbers, he’s way up there. Similar to Josh Allen, Sweat has made significant improvements every single year since he was drafted. Personally think he belongs up in the “Could be a #1, ideally a #2” tier.

[@MarcusHansen276]

Lemme get that offensive lineman tier list. I’d also love it if you add the eye test to your rankings, if you don’t already have it.

[@Jackson-ec9py]

Liked this format more, better anticipation

[@samuel_shemire]

So happy for Oweh this year

[@aconnox]

legend

[@nathanclifton6042]

The Lions indicated that they want to move James Houston to outside LB to see if they can keep him on the field for at least 2 downs, but he suffered a fibular fracture week 2 and has been out ever since. It'll be interesting to see if he can make that transition

[@oldmandave304]

You are spot on regarding Landry. He's just not the same.

[@ThisIsEloy3]

Hunter is ELITE, especially this year.

[@xKingofHearts87x]

Yeah I really love this format. I also didn't know Yannick was THAT bad I knew he wasn't good but god damn

[@nickmerritt4628]

I’m absolutely a biased Steelers fan, but I’d still say TJ is equal to Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons. His play by play consistency is not as good, but he has splash plays at a much higher rate than Garrett and Parsons. Just my opinion though

[@icertifiedjosh6488]

1Hour Vid W!!!!

[@Mittherit]

Completely agree with azeez. So sad bc he could be so nice w kayvon and dex but I don’t think we’ll ever know

[@jaidenreddy7473]

Really interested to know if your perspective on Aidan Hutchinson has changed. Are you worried at all by his low sack count? Do you think his numbers are getting artificially inflated by late wins on high effort plays? Lions fan and obviously a huge fan of his but I do see him disappear from games as a pass rusher, which you usually don’t see from those Tier 1 EDs.

[@ugottashhh]

rashan gary is low for me but overall good list and great video!

[@MNDNate]

Do CBs next

[@cormacohanlon2501]

What do you think about Cards rookie BJ Ojulari? Small sample size but he’s looked promising!

[@booker4984]

This is fun

[@nickfrisa4066]

Just out of curiosity, where would you put Kyle Van Noy? He's having a similiar come back type of year like Clowney is having. Clowney, Van Noy and Odafe all kinda having trending up type of years imo.

[@jlm4455]

I keep seeing Oweh as trending the right way. Yeah that has been the story from his rookie year, yet? The #s are average at best. Van Noy and Clowney benefitted from a great scheme. I seriously doubt they will replicate that production again. Ravens front 7 is going to need someone to step up because Mads is going to see a ton of double teams.

[@lukeboston5817]

Drop the tier maker link in the description!

[@FallingSloths]

I haven't watched much of Bradley Chubb this year, but one thing I know he used to do in Denver that doesn't show up on stat sheets is get frustrated and then commit really dirty personal fouls out of anger. There were a number of times on those struggling Denver teams that he would get frustrated and just late hit QBs and receivers who had gone out of bounds. Lots of diving at people with his helmet lowered too. Morality aside, it was a tendency that used to take bad situations and make them 15 yards worse.

[@noahrahimi6689]

the amount of current and former niners players all over this list is amazing

[@Deezlrow]

Landry has been picking back up. They should not have relied on him as much as they did early on, but he’s looked better in recent weeks

[@maximusrex8689]

Crazy thing ab Gary is he’s coming off a torn ACL. Next year when he’s healthy I’m guessing he moves up to elite

[@HartofSports]

I think the actual tiers would make more sense if the “2 for now/could be a number 1” was ahead of “true number 2” tier because in theory a number 2 that can eventually be a number 1 is superior to a a guy that is really just a solid number 2 at best just my opinion

[@Selling-McCarthyism]

Danielle Hunter 3 years ago would probably be the top tier despite having a career year this year. He was the fastest guy to 50 sacks and had a long career ahead of him before injuries

[@christopherronaldo9489]

boye mafe #19 pass rush grade, rashan gary #18. at least above barron browning in my opinion

[@wardog211]

Where would you have Marcus Davenport for the Vikings? Been injured most of the year, currently on IR, but has had a couple sacks when he played. I’d probably say he’s a low-end true #2 considering how injured he’s been recently.

[@riikyricardo]

Watching this after Phillips’ injury 🥲

[@btcoufctony3894]

Can we have a long snapper list next?

[@TheEndlessEgoist]

88 edges is wild but I'll be watching either way

[@Reese100k]

do corners next

[@jackmannschreck726]

This video is the reason I realized that Justin Houston is still playing football, I could have sworn that he retired

[@guyzbierski4028]

biased rams fan here love the videos do you think byron young could've been placed above some of the other young guys just off the fact that he has just been thrown into the fire and is still producing at a decent clip from what I've seen also hes taken a step in the right direction in the run game as last week against Seattle im from KC area and watch a lot of KC games and i just dont see anything out of felix to be ahead of him other than just projection or future upside.

[@carsondevitt2792]

No Jonathan Cooper is crazy… he’s been the #1 in Denver all season

[@regikarfberger4262]

Not to be a bills homer, but Leonard Floyd is having a great year and his omission paints an incomplete picture of Buffalo’s pass rush

[@mandomerlie1997]

Love the video! Can you explain Kayvon Thibodeaux over Boye Mafe? Pff likes Boye a lot more and I haven’t seen that much from Kayvon. I like the upside for both of them but I think right now Boye is a better player.

[@btinsch3147]

Kayvon has 11 sacks…

[@btinsch3147]

@@AidenPrezas no… go watch the jets and Washington games buddy… could tell you haven’t watched any all year

[@slimesherlock885]

BJ Ojulari is also a player to look out for

[@JohnDaDong93]

Brandon Graham, based on others on this list, i think should be a true #2, he’s just in a stacked room over there in Philly.

[@alexishernandez2164]

The top five should be tj watt, myles garret, Maxx Crosby, nick bosa, micah parsons

[@scratch_customs]

I think by next year you’ll have Hendrickson and Gary in the Elite tier. As a packers fan I may be a little biased but I think Gary should be there right now. I think he’s just in a different situation than some of those other guys up there around him because he is coming off that ACL injury but I think he’s in that elite tier personally.

[@t4d0W]

Gary could be just with his physical traits and he's still relatively young while finally putting his game together. Hendrickson I feel is just a very good bull rusher. But there are games where if his matchup can contain that bull rush, he doesn't really do much and its up to someone else to win. Plus he's sort of in his prime so he doesn't really have a higher ceiling he can crack given the skillset he's been working with for over 5 years now.

[@spin-rg9ib]

you forgot Leonard Floyd on the bills. who i would put as a true #1. i know your off on the bills because of Vons injury but Floyd took his place and is playing at the level Von was playing before he got hurt last year. Floyd has been amazing this year. Also Von still has his brace on and i dont think its fair to evaluate him until that comes off which will probably be after the bills bye week in week 13. It would have been better if you put Floyd on this list instead of Von Miler. EDIT: also i would put Von as a #4. would need his own tier because he not even good as a designated pass rusher to this point.

[@tao7377]

carl granderson S tier please and thank u(yes i am a saints fan)

[@Jackerco]

danielle hunter is the best in the game right now, cant be denied.

[@haygrayk]

It can definitely be denied lmao.

[@robbiewarrene]

where would you put mike danna?

[@vilevillain1059]

i want him to do this with defensive tackles just for dexter lawrence get his own tier

[@EvanS_-]

Corners next?

[@OKCCreez]

Alternate title: PFF ranks NFL edge rushers

[@zackhurwitz9441]

Hutchinson up until the last game against Chicago had 4.5 sacks, and went like a month without getting any. I say this as a 9ers fan, Walker had one get robbed from him in the San Francisco game, he should have 5. Hutch should definitely have gone ahead of Walker, but I don't think he's proven he's a #1 yet, he's debatably Detroit's best pass rusher, with what McNeil is doing rn.

[@NwosuSZN]

Nwosu and Mafe crazy disrespected here

[@tinytrtle5681]

Oh boy! Can't wait to watch this and get mad that you put Myles Garrett ahead of TJ Watt!
