Top 5 Graded Players on Offense and Defense per PFF

PFF gets a lot of flack, but their grades provide a baseline for player evaluation, especially when you're not a film junkie like myself. Jim Mora once said, you think you know...but you'll never know, and I subscribe to that level of thinking, so this is purely subjective. However, I do respect people who put in time and effort and it's clear that the folks over at PFF aren't just pulling things out their collective rectum.

DT Jonah Williams - 76.2 DEF | 78.5 RDEF | 68.1 TACK | 57.2 PRSH

Most promising takeaway: All RB's graded above 70 in PBLK as the blitz pickup from every runner was far above average vs a defensive scheme that targets them with well designed blitzes.
