THE PASS RUSH
Leonard Floyd: 68 tackles, 12 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 INT
Pernell McPhee: 54 tackles, 9 sacks, 1 forced fumble
Akiem Hicks: 47 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble
There will be other contributors like Willie Young, Eddie Goldman and hopefully Jonathan Bullard but the bulk of the pass rush success will funnel through these three men. They proved that much last year. When healthy it can create some pretty major havoc. The 2017 season will be about Leonard Floyd’s ascension. Thicker and stronger than his rookie year, he breaks out becoming the first double digit sack producer for Chicago since Julius Peppers. Pernell McPhee compliments him very well with a career-high sack total of his own.
