Only 28 players in NFL history have ever recorded 10 or more sacks in six seasons. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt is not one of them, but he just reached his fifth season in 2023 and could join that fraternity next year. The only likely impediment for him would be health.
Yet there is one group it would be quite a challenge for him to make his way into now, for precisely that reason. His injury in 2022 prevented him from reaching double-digit sacks, breaking up a streak of four consecutive seasons with 10-plus sacks.
The Cleveland Browns’ Myles Garrett became just the seventh player in NFL history with six consecutive seasons with 10 or more sacks.
