Mafe, the 40th pick in the 2022 draft out of Minnesota, has had a nine-sack season, a six-sack season, and in last month's Super Bowl had three of Seattle's 21 relentless pressures of Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
According to PFF, Mafe has 146 pressures over the past three seasons as well as 41 run stops, which rate in the top third for both categories among NFL edges.
