Best edge rushers Denver Broncos face in 2022

3. Chandler Jones, Las Vegas Raiders

The third-best pass rusher Denver will face in 2022 is Chandler Jones, Crosby’s new running mate. Chandler Jones is a future Hall of Famer.

He’s been to four Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl with New England, and has seven seasons of 10 or more sacks.

He’s averaging 10.75 sacks per season over his 10-year career. He’s remarkably consistent, and will surely do just as well in Las Vegas.

Chandler Jones can win with both power and speed. He can win standing up or with his hand in the dirt. Many in Broncos Country wanted the team to sign Jones, and there seemed to be some smoke connecting the two parties.

The duo of Crosby and Jones might be the best in the NFL. Both players have shown how elite they can be, and now that they’re on the same team, opposing offenses are going to have their work cut out for them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the duo combines for close to 30 sacks. Obviously, sacks aren’t everything, as being able to play the run well is still very important.
