NFL's unsung heroes in 2021 season: One player from each AFC team

www.nfl.com

Miami Dolphins

Emmanuel Ogbah
DE · Year 6

Ogbah has quietly been an important part of Miami's defense in each of the last two seasons. The edge rusher recorded his second straight campaign with nine sacks in 2021 to go along with 41 tackles -- and he added a bit of a nose for the ball, recording a career-high 12 passes defensed. Ogbah's 54 quarterback pressures were the ninth-most among all edge defenders, per Next Gen Stats, amounting to a QB pressure rate over 11 percent. He added 35 stops and six run stuffs, capping the résumé of a player who has been remarkably consistent in his last two seasons. Time for the pending free agent to cash in on the open market. :ffic:

Unsung? Not on FH.
 
Ogbah is a guy I'd love to keep but I'm absolutely not wanting to pay him like a top DE.
 
Mac Jones is the only correct answer here. He is the unsung hero, of not just his team, but the nfl. For all of the love he got in the media, it still is nowhere near enough for how truly talented he is. He is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to the nfl, and is already the GOAT.

I would pay him. 9 sacks and 12 bagged down passes + his pressure rate and he’s good against the run. He’s a complete DE.

But hes not really a dominant DE in my eyes, and top contracts go to dominant players not all around solid ones.

Pass deflections are nice but slightly overrated by fans. Not saying they are bad they are positive plays, but generally they aren't game changing plays and statistically some of them would be incomplete regardless.

Perhaps w the deflections but any battled down pass is important in todays NFL where comp % is off of the charts. Agree he’s not dominant but an all around next tier player. I hope we can keep him and that Phillips continues to develop and we have a strong set of bookend rushers for another 3-4 seasons.

I also hope we can keep him and I'd also slightly overpay if necessary, im just hoping it's not a top 5 type contract or that it's front loaded if it is while we have cap.

Pff's projections for Ogbah's future contact.

Contract Projection: Three years, $46.5 million ($15.5M per year, $30 million total guaranteed)

It's probably pretty accurate in regards to his production in comparison to other free agents who have been available.

From watching games, Og has the same weakness as Wake - setting the edge. It seems teams had more success runing in his direction. That said, I like the guy and want Mia to make every reasonable effort to sign him

Agreed…. He definitely can be improved upon. However…IMO….Depending on his salary demands….You re-sign him. No use opening up another hole that you’re going to have to close later.
