wait for it...

OK -
They are all linebackers that are ranked BELOW Dre Greenlaw by PFF in their final rankings.
While I don't hold PFF in as high of regards as I used to, I'll take it. The kids been a gamer!
Whether you accept their method or not, it is still a rating system that is applied equally. The kid sits above some pretty good LBs.
Applied according to individual biases and assuming they actually are monitoring every snap for every player on every down, the biases can occur due to them utilizing a qualitative approach. There are roughly 62 offensive, 62 defensive, and 21 St plays a game. That's roughly 145 plays a game x 11 players on at a time = 1,595 plays x 32 teams = 51,040 individual player snaps analyzed per weekend in the NFL. I'm not saying it can't be done, but when you consistently hear fans say "wait a minute, they are saying that pass rusher xyz had zero pressures and I distinctly remember two" that's where I wonder if they are truly capturing everything.
Of course my own personal negative bias is: PFF is owned by Chris Collinsworth lol
That being said, I agree, regardless of the degree of accuracy, Greenlaw has stood out among his peers and deserves the accolades he gets. He seems to get better every week. He reminds me a little of Borland but faster.
