Making it's return just before the 2013 season opens up, its the top ten right now series. For the mighty return of the series, I take a look at the defensive side of the ball for the first time. Pass rusher is a term that is pretty obvious the role is, they rush the quarterback. But in today's NFL, pass rushers aren't only coming from the defensive end position. The popularity of the 3-4 defense has allowed more players to become elite pass rushers, primarily from an outside linebacker. So here is the list of the best pass rushers in the NFL in 2013:
10. Geno Atkins, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
9. Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Washington Redskins
8. Terrell Suggs, DE/OLB, Baltimore Ravens
7. Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, New York Giants
6. Clay Matthews, OLB, Green Bay Packers
5. Von Miller, LB, Denver Broncos
4. Demarcus Ware, DE, Dallas Cowboys
3. JJ Watt, DT/DE, Houston Texans
2. Aldon Smith. OLB, San Francisco 49ers
1. Jared Allen, DE, Minnesota Vikings
