Yet Again, TJ Watt Has Chance To Do Something Only Reggie White Has Done

A year ago, we talked about TJ Watt’s very real chance to join Reggie White in some elite-of-the-elite company. Watt needed 13 sacks in 2021 to join White as the only players since 1982, when sacks became official, to have four consecutive seasons with 13+ sacks.

Watt, of course, blew past that mark, tying the NFL record with 22.5 of them. Over his first five years, he’s up to 72 career sacks, an absurdly high number reached by only a handful of players over that span, including big brother JJ Watt, slightly ahead with 74.
