Myles Garrett broke the single-season sack record -- but is he really the NFL's No. 1 edge rusher? And can Maxx Crosby's relentless motor and deep bag of pass-rush moves keep him at No. 2 in the deepest EDGE class in years?
Here's the debate today. PFN's NFL Top 100 going into 2026 forced a cut at five, and these are the EDGE rushers who survived it -- ranked on three full years of grading, not just last season's headlines. We cover all of that, plus Aidan Hutchinson's emphatic answer to a season-ending injury, the Houston tandem of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, and the impact metrics that actually separate one elite rusher from the next, in an EDGEy top-five list hosted by PFN's Jacob Infante. Every one of these five could headline a defense on his own, which is exactly why the order is worth fighting over — the gap between No. 1 and No. 5 is a lot thinner than the ranking makes it look.
