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.

He's a weapon that very few teams can actually take full advantage of.
1. You have to have a plan for him.
2. You have to force teams into passing situations often.
He'll likely be unleashed like never before.

Just so happens my favorite team the Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best defensive coordinators and is currently 2nd best stopping the run forcing teams into passing situations.
