Pro Football Reference has officially completed its research for sack stats since 1960 and Bill Glass now sits atop the Cleveland Browns record book
If you were to do a quick Google search for the all-time sack leader in Cleveland Browns history, you would see the name Clay Matthews, Jr. pop up. The should-be Hall of Famer was credited with 62 sacks during his time in Cleveland which didn’t include the first four years of his career since sacks weren’t officially a stat until 1982.
