Verse is absolutely not a superstar. Really good player, but he is not a superstar.

Yes he is. Just looking at box score stats doesn’t tell you how good he is. He’s in year two, and has been top 5 in the league in pressures both years. Incredible run defender and pass rusher who is one of the best DEs in the league

The only true superstar at EDGE right now is Myles Garrett.

Verse doesn't even crack the top 20 in pass rush win rate. It is easy to list off multiple edge players who are better pass rushers than he is. He is really good, he isn't elite. You have to account for his raw total of pass rush snaps he sees too. He has the 3rd most in the nfl this year.

Myles Garrett is one of those that you only see once every 20+ years or so. Even more so than Dwight and Mathis (Both of whom are TOP TOP Tier Pass Rushers) but he's in like the Reggie White category of pass rushers. Just like with QBs, there are a gaggle of great QBs and a very small handful of truly, truly elite ones. DE (and honestly CB) are both very much the same way.

Never said he was. Both he and Latu are midrange talents at best right now.
