Reggie White

Reggie White's 198 career sacks rank second all-time, trailing only Bruce Smith's 200, and his 13 Pro Bowl selections tie for most among defensive linemen. In 15 seasons, White won Super Bowl XXXI with the Packers in 1997 and recorded the single-game sack record of 4 against the New Orleans Saints in 1990. His disruptive presence made him a 2-time Defensive Player of the Year, and he averaged 13.2 sacks per season, faster than the average Hall of Fame pass rusher's 11.4. White's 14.0 sacks in 1998 led the league, demonstrating sustained excellence. Compared to #5 Peyton Manning's 5 MVP awards, White's impact on defense is unmatched among his peers. He was the first player to achieve 10+ sacks in 13 straight seasons, a record that stood until 2023.
