Age 37 Sack Totals

[JeffInDC]

I just went in Pro Football Reference to check if the 12 guys ahead of Von Miller played their age 37 season…boy was I shocked. 7 were still playing at 37. Their sack totals that year:

Bruce Smith - 10
Reggie White - 16
Kevin Greene - 12
Julius Peppers - 11
Chris Doleman - 15
Jason Taylor - 7
Terrell Suggs - 6.5

Guess this shows that the greats (if generally healthy) can still be productive well into their careers. Miller is a great get…even if he gets hurt, there isn’t a better teacher for the young guys.

If he gives us 10 sacks that would be a big win as far as acquiring him.

Heck, if he duplicates last year, that would be more than enough.

Reggie White - 16

I will never forget this moment.

And it never happened again.

Well, duh.

You don't play in this league at 37 if you suck and have nothing left.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

If we had nominations for post of the day, I would submit yours to be ridiculous.

And I would nominate yours.
