This is kind of interesting. It's a list of the sack leaders for each franchise.

Many are not surprising, but some are. My surprises (obviously many are the result of sacks not being an official stat until 1982):

Strahan is the Giants' sack leader, not Lawrence Taylor.

Greg Townsend is the Raiders' sack leader? That's not very impressive. I would've guessed Long, though in retrospect they've never had a big sack artist.

Simon Fletcher is the Broncos' all-time sack leader? How embarrassing. I would've guessed Mecklenburg.

Who would've guessed that Robert Porcher is the Lions' all-time leader? I'm not sure who I would've even guessed, though, which is sad.

Out of all the Cowboys' stars, Jim Jeffcoat is their leader. I would've guessed Too Tall Jones or maybe Charles Haley or Bob Lilly or someone.

The Rams - Leonard Little? Really? Deacon Jones and Merlin Olsen would eat that guy for lunch (with a few martinis).

Buccaneers - Warren Sapp, not Lee Roy Selmon

Steelers - You'll never guess. Never in a million years. Not Joe Greene. Not Dwight White. Not LC Greenwood. Not Kevin Greene. Not Chad Brown. Not Greg Lloyd. Not ... anyone else. It's Jason Gildon.

Packers - Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila. Yeah, like you would've ever guessed that.

And the Bengals' record holder? It can be no other besides the incomparable Eddie Edwards.
