PFF: Chargers EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu deemed highest-graded rookie from Week 6

Pro Football Focus released their list of the ten highest-graded rookies from Week 6. Chargers edge defender Tuli Tuipulotu sat atop the list with a 90.0 overall grade from his performance against the Cowboys.

Tuipulotu continued to make noise, finishing with five quarterback pressures, which led the team on Monday. That brings his pressure total to 19, which is second among Chargers defenders and fourth among rookie defenders.

Tuipulotu almost had a sack on quarterback Dak Prescott, but he couldn’t completely grasp him and bring him down.

Tuipulotu has been given a full workload while Joey Bosa works his way back from his toe injury and has fully taken advantage of his time on the field.

When he’s not generating pressure on the quarterback, Tuipulotu has been involved in the run game, using his relentless motor to pursue ball carriers.

Tuipulotu ranks second in run stops with 10 and third in run stop percentage (11.6).
