Eagles OT Lane Johnson ranks Steelers’ T.J. Watt among best pass rushers in NFL

A strong case can be made that Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson is the best at his position in NFL. So when he talks about top pass rushers, everyone should listen.

Johnson listed his top five pass rushers and included Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt. He also had Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett, Las Vegas Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby and a pair of Dallas Cowboys in Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence.

Watt was out last season when the Steelers and Eagles squared off, but he did get one sack when the two teams faced each other in 2020. Johnson understands he doesn’t need to face Watt twice a year, like he does with the Cowboys pass rushers, to know he is among the elite in the NFL.
