Christian Barmore quickly ascended as one of the New England Patriots’ better defensive players in his rookie season.
The Alabama product finished the year with 46 tackles, nine quarterback hits, three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. According to Mike Renner of Pro Football Focus, Leonard Williams (52) is the only rookie defensive tackle since 2006 to have more quarterback pressures than Barmore (48).
That’s pretty good for a second-round rookie.
