PFF: Chiefs’ new pass-rusher Uche ranks fifth in pressure rate since 2022

After their Week 8 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Kansas City Chiefs traded a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft to the New England Patriots in exchange for skilled edge rusher Joshua Uche.

The up-and-coming sack-master is expected to become a key part of Kansas City’s pass rush in the coming weeks as the Chiefs look to keep their perfect season alive.

Though Uche’s impact doesn’t always translate directly to the stat sheet, the experts at Pro Football Focus were quick to remind fans why Kansas City would want to bring in a player of his caliber amid the Chiefs’ quest to complete a Super Bowl three-peat.

Take a look at Uche’s impressive numbers below in this tweet that was shared by PFF KC Chiefs after the trade with New England:

Stay tuned to see how defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo decides to use Uche when the Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9.
