In today’s NFL, you can never have enough depth in the pass rush, and Ngakoue absolutely earned this elevation. According to PFF, his 16 pass rushing snaps resulted in tallied one sack, one quarterback hit and two hurries.
This latest chapter in his NFL career perfectly embodies the motivational lyrics of “Lose Yourself,” the uplifting classic hip-hop tune by Eminem:
“Do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.”
Ngakoue seized the golden opportunity in front of him, and thus far, he’s made the most of it.
