You don’t need me to explain TJ Watt’s utter dominance over these past two seasons. At least, I hope you don’t. He could’ve won Defensive MVP in 2019 or 2020 and it’s a shame he doesn’t have at least one such trophy on his mantle. Few players have gotten after quarterbacks like he has.
Watt is the NFL leader in sacks over the past two seasons, recording 29.5 of them across 2019 and 2020. But it’s a close race with Shaq Barrett (27.5) Aaron Donald (26), and Za’Darius Smith (26) not far behind. There’s another pass-rush stat that has Watt head and shoulders above the field.
