Quinnen Williams put together his best year as a member of the New York Jets in 2022, but ESPN doesn’t believe he’ll repeat his sack output from a season ago. After registering a career-best 12 sacks last season, ESPN is projecting Williams to finish the upcoming campaign with seven sacks, tying him for the 29th-most in the NFL.
ESPN’s Seth Walder calculated the projections by incorporating a few factors, including sacks totals in the previous two seasons, pass-rush win rate, projected team win totals, and how often a player rushes off of the edge rather than the interior, among other factors. The last factor is likely causing Williams’ sack projection to be negatively affected as he wreaks havoc from the interior for the Jets.
