"He's been playing at an All-Pro level with 18 pressures and five sacks (top five in football), consistently commanding double teams and still finding ways to affect the pocket. Whether aligned wide or reduced inside on passing downs, his ability to convert speed to power has overwhelmed opposing offensive tackles. He's also winning in isolation, collapsing edges, and forcing signal-callers to adjust their internal clock - the kind of impact that doesn't always show up in box scores, but is impossible to miss on film."
"What's separated Armstrong so far in 2025 is how complete his game has become. Initially labeled a high-effort rotational player in Dallas with the traits to become an impact force down the line, the former Kansas prospect has progressed into a power-laden, refined technician. His first step isn't the most explosive or twitchy, but it's his counter work - the rip, an inside spin, the ability to disengage from contact - that's made him so difficult to contain."
Dorrance Armstrong Jr. has produced elite pass-rush production through five games, compiling 18 pressures and five sacks while consistently drawing double teams. He creates disruption whether aligned wide or moved inside, converting speed to power to overwhelm offensive tackles and collapsing edges in isolation. His presence forces quarterbacks to alter timing and decision-making. The player has evolved from a high-effort rotational piece into a power-laden, technically refined rusher, relying on counter moves like the rip and inside spin to disengage from contact. He rushes with discipline and a plan, manipulating offensive-line structure rather than simply expending effort.
