Dear Drew: Extended written OTA version

*EDITOR'S NOTE: There were a slew of fan questions for Drew Dougherty on Facebook, so in addition to the handful he answered in the video above, he also answered a few more below.

Nick Battista: Dear Drew, How many sacks will our defense get this year?

DD: I’d say between 45 and 50. In 2016, they got to the quarterback 31 times. Whitney Mercilus led the way with 7.5 sacks, and Jadeveon Clowney was right behind him with six. In 2015, though, the defense rang up 45 sacks.
