Unofficial and Official Career sack Leaders Here

Single Seasons Leaders Here


This is very interesting stuff to any football fans that love the history of the game. Deacon freaking Jones was a mothereffing beast. Al Baker is the unofficial single season sack leader with 23 in his rookie year. Alan Page was phenomenally consistent.

It's eye opening how big the drop off is after Bruce and Reggie....

Ya I saw that info last week and was very intrigued.

Its incomprehensible that they didn’t record that stat much earlier. I wouldn’t be shocked if it had something to do with keeping salary demands as low as possible by not highlighting the individuals performance.

Might be a stupid question.

Why can't the stats prior to 82 be considered offical. If we have evidence enough to count them, why not include them. Those old timers more than deserve that.
