Performance Analysis
An explosive edge rusher who consistently disrupts backfields, ranking fourth among NFL defensive ends with elite production in both sacks and tackles for loss. His relentless motor and high durability (90%) have made him a reliable anchor on Houston's defensive line, though a slight dip in 2025 suggests he may be navigating increased offensive attention or scheme adjustments. The trajectory from his 2023 baseline indicates a player hitting his stride in his prime years, capable of sustaining impact-level performance week to week.
