Rousseau recorded 53 total tackles (36 solo) including 8.0 sacks, with three passes defended and three forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Rousseau was an iron man for the Bills this season, starting every game except for a Week 18 matchup against the Patriots, when Buffalo rested its starters after securing the No. 2 seed in the AFC. The 2021 first-round pick tied his career high in sacks in 2024 while leading Buffalo's defense in tackles for loss (16) and sacks. The fifth-year option on his rookie contract was picked up, and Rousseau should remain one of Buffalo's top defensive players next year. He could very well receive an extension at some point this offseason.
