What happened: PFF's interior ranking lists Donald at 21.4% and Robinson at 20.0% through the early 2026 season. Reader also appears in the top group of qualifying interior defenders.
Why it matters: Interior pressure shortens pass windows and decides third downs without extra rushers. Early separation among high-win-rate tackles identifies matchups offenses must slide protection toward.
By the numbers: Pass-rush win rate: 23.3% leader, Donald 21.4%, Robinson 20.0%. Robinson logged 43 tackles and 1 sack in 15 games in 2025; Simmons logged 67 tackles and 11 sacks in 15 games in 2025.
What to watch: Watch whether the order holds as qualifying snap counts grow.
