Move over Michael Strahan, there is a new single-season sack master for the NFL!
According to some new research conducted by the Pro Football Researchers Association, former Detroit Lions DE Al ‘Bubba’ Baker had a whopping 23 sacks during his rookie season in 1978, which eclipses Strahan’s previous record of 22.5.
Prior to this update, the NFL only kept track of sacks from 1982-present.
Congrats, Bubba!
