Getting back into the draft process after a few weeks off.
These are 7 Edge rushers I have watched so far, many more to come.
Let me know in the comments who else I should start watching.

Has been great at rushing off the edge, and has an equally great first step off the snap.
Displays athletic bend & fantastic closing speed
Physical, instinctive, & breaks down plays well.

James Pearce Jr Tennessee, Edge

A potential number-one draft pick in the 2025 NFL Draft
James is quick off the line, athletic, & flexible with a natural bend to get around the edge.
Has a nasty spin move!
Competitive, no quit, high motor, & uses leverage well.@Vol_Football pic.twitter.com/dst2wFXnba

Another pass rusher with a crazy good spin move
High-effort guy, dominant against the run, pursues ball carriers & sets the edge as well as anyone in his class
Elite balance & control with a strong upper body and flexibility to get low… pic.twitter.com/dc0ftnhbXY

Explosive first step & bursts
Displays elite balance, upper body strength, agility, & instincts.
