The 'Most sacks as an NFL rookie' quiz

Happy birthday to former fifth-overall NFL Draft pick, two-time Pro Bowler and Miami Dolphins defensive end Bradley Chubb!

Chubb missed the entire 2024-25 after tearing his ACL, meniscus and patellar tendons against the Baltimore Ravens on New Year's Eve 2023, but participated in OTAs this offseason and expects to have himself at 100 percent for the regular season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on September 7.

Which brings us to today's quiz. Since the NFL began recording quarterback sacks in 1982, a total of 35 players had 10 or more sacks in their rookie seasons as of the 2024 campaign. How many of the 35 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
