While the AFC West boasts the best group of pass rushers off the edge, the NFC West might have the best pass rushers on the interior of any division in the NFL, led by arguably the league’s best in that regard.

Which players in this division are the best at getting pressure on the quarterback?

There are plenty, but we’ve got the top five, including at least one from each team in the division.

Here are the top five pass rushers in the NFC West…

5. Ndamukong Suh, Los Angeles Rams

Suh comes over from the Miami Dolphins and immediately jumps into the top five of this division’s impressive list of interior pass rushers.

Suh is really a complete player on the interior, but he’s able to destroy interior offensive linemen on his way to the quarterback and seemingly impose his will whenever he wants to throughout the course of a game.

According to Pro Football Focus, Suh had 30 hurries, eight hits, and five sacks on the quarterback with Miami in 2017, and his production should skyrocket playing next to Aaron Donald.
