Take a bow, Carl Granderson. Pro Football Focus charting found that the New Orleans Saints defensive end is tied for the second-most quarterback pressures around the NFL going into Week 4. The Saints’ breakout playmaker from 2023 has picked up where he left off in 2024.

Like Granderson, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons also has 18 pressures through the first three weeks, and only Detroit Lions fan-favorite Aidan Hutchinson has more (25). And Granderson is consistently producing. He had three pressures in Week 1, eight of them in Week 2, and seven more in Week 3. Officially, Granderson...
