Josh Uche Traded to Chiefs

[TwistedChief]

From ESPN.com article:

Though he has only two sacks and has played just 34% of snaps in seven games (he was held out of Sunday's victory over the Jets), he has a very impressive 24% pass rush win rate this season -- which would rank in the top 10 if he played enough to qualify.

This season isn't the first time Uche has shown serious pass-rushing promise. In 2022, Uche recorded 11.5 sacks, a 19% pass rush win rate and a massive 19% pressure rate -- which is the highest by any player in any season since ESPN began tracking pressure in 2017. Of course, he has not maintained that level of play. He had pedestrian pass rush win rates of 13% and 10% in 2021 and 2023, respectively, along with just three sacks in each of those seasons. But we've seen periods of high-level play from Uche, so it's definitely possible that he can unlock it again, especially given his play in the first half of this season.
