TJ Watt Ends 2020 As The NFL’s Sack Leader

TJ Watt deserves to be named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year. But even on the off chance voters snub him, he’ll still be the league’s winner in one category. With 15 of them, Watt will end the 2020 season as football’s sack leader. Here’s the NFL leaderboard.

1. TJ Watt – 15
T-2. Aaron Donald – 13.5
T-2. Trey Hendrickson – 13.5
T-4. Hasson Reddick – 12.5
T-4. Za’Darius Smith – 12.5

Watt set the league’s high mark in just 15 games after being held out of Sunday’s performance versus the Browns.
