Season so far
Lukas Van Ness has appeared in just one game so far in 2026, making it early in the campaign, though his initial outing resulted in a detrimental 53.2 overall grade. His performance was heavily dragged down by persistent breakdowns against the run, where failing to maintain outside leverage led to multiple explosive plays. As a pass rusher, he generated minimal disruption across 22 snaps, frequently being washed past the pocket or cleanly stonewalled. He did show isolated positive flashes, including diagnosing a naked bootleg to force intentional grounding and winning inside for a run stop. Nonetheless, his inability to consistently set the perimeter proved net-negative over his 49 snaps.
