Mario Addison, Shaquil Barrett an unlikely pair of sack leaders

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The pass-rushers ranked first in the league in sacks through five weeks are undrafted players who aren’t household names who don’t have monster contracts.

And they’ll be on the same field on Sunday in London.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett leads the NFL with nine sacks, 4.5 more than he’s had in any season since entering the league in 2014 out of Colorado State.

Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Mario Addison has 6.5 sacks, 4.5 off the career-best 11 he posted in 2017 and well ahead of the pace he set in any season since entering the league in 2011 out of Troy.
