While Greenard's sack production took a significant hit last season, the downturn can be explained away since he battled a shoulder injury that caused him to miss five games. He's still a high-motor pass-rusher who can win with speed around the edge, turn speed-to-power and utilizes a nasty inside-spin move as a counter. The 2024 Pro Bowler does need to improve at finishing plays, though, as he's had tackling issues throughout his six-year career. That weakness partially contributed to his low sack total a year ago. Regardless, Greenard is a good all-around player who can set the edge against the run, too.


As a pass-rusher, Verse's game is rooted in his ability to turn speed-to-power. He can collapse the pocket against offensive tackles, with a few nice counter moves off his primary approach, using his hands and quickness to keep tackles guessing. Additionally, the second-year pro is effective on stunts and can rush from a few different alignments. Verse was more impactful against the run as a rookie, but he still showed the strength to set the edge and be a plus-run defender last season. The 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year has a bright future and projects as a high-quality three-down player for years to come. He does need to clean up his tackling, though.


Bonitto is an explosive pass-rusher who can win in a variety of ways. He has an incredible initial burst to win with speed around the edge, can turn speed-to-power and possesses the quickness and change-of-direction skills to take advantage of oversets by beating offensive tackles on an inside path. The two-time Pro Bowler blends in as a run defender, though. He can use his speed and athleticism to take advantage when he's unblocked or cause an offensive lineman to miss and occasionally make tackles near the line of scrimmage. However, Bonitto struggles to take on and disengage from blocks.


A gold jacket is waiting for T.J. Watt whenever he decides to hang up his cleats. However, the future Hall of Famer's production dipped last season, as he isn't the same player he used to be. Watt can still win on the high side of the rush but lacks a good change-up to keep offensive tackles honest. At this stage of his career, Watt is also more of a finesse player against the run.
