Top 10 NFL sack leaders for the 2021 season
The 2021 NFL season is rapidly approaching and there are a slew of sack artists looking to take down quarterbacks this year. Here is a look at the top 10 NFL sack leaders for the 2021 season.
1. Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt led the league in sacks last season with 15 and will look to build on that total in 2021.
2. Los Angeles Rams defensive end Aaron Donald is one of the most feared pass rushers in the NFL and has racked up double-digit sack totals in each of the past four seasons. Donald had 12.5 sacks last year and will look to be a force again this season.
3. Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett is coming off a stellar 2020 campaign where he amassed 9 sacks, forced 4 fumbles, and had 2 interceptions while being named to his 2nd straight Pro Bowl. Garrett will look to be an even more disruptive force for Cleveland’s defense in 2021 as they try to contend for a spot in the playoffs.
4. Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham had 8 sacks last season and will look to build on that total in 2021 as he enters his 10th NFL season.
5 Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Matthew Judon recorded 8.5 sacks last year, his second consecutive season with at least 8 sacks, and will look to be a leading pass rusher for Baltimore once again this year as they try to defend their AFC North title.
6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett tallied 8 sacks in his first year with Tampa Bay last season and will look to be a major factor on their defense again this season as they try to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
7 Indianapolis Colts edge rusher Denico Autry has developed into one of the most productive pass rushers in recent years, recording at least 7 sacks in each of the past three seasons, including 9 sacks last year. Autry will try to help lead Indianapolis’ defense as they compete for a spot in the playoffs this upcoming year.
8 Houston Texans edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney had 7 sacks last season, his first since 2016, and will try to build on that total in 2021 as he enters his 8th NFL season.
Clowney has had some injury issues throughout his career but when healthy, he is one of the best pass rushers in the league and will look to make an impact for Houston’s defense this upcoming year
