Bradley Chubb, DE, Broncos

The Denver Broncos made Bradley Chubb the fifth-overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, and they’re probably thanking their lucky stars daily he fell to them.

Chubb has been the perfect complement to Von Miller all year, and with 12 sacks is very close to breaking Jevon Kearse’s all-time record for sacks in a rookie season (14.5).

On a per-snap basis, Chubb has quickly developed into one of the most effective pass rushers in the NFL. He’s racking up pressures, hits, and sacks at a very high rate, helping the Broncos return to the level of production they had when DeMarcus Ware was lining up on the other side of Von Miller.

Chubb has 51 tackles to go along with his 12 sacks, as well as two forced fumbles and a whopping 20 hits on the quarterback.
