Created on May 22, 2025 | Total tries: 21492 | Average Score: 25.7 out of 43 (60%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 34th birthday to one of the pass rushers in NFL history – Aaron Donald!

Donald hung up his cleats after a 10-year career after the 2023 season, making the Pro Bowl in every season with eight All-Pro selections as well – earning AP Defensive Player of the Year honors three times and was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2014 and lifting the Lombardi Trophy after the Super Bowl LVI victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Donald retired with 111 career sacks and 176 tackles for loss. With that being said, how many of the NFL’s yearly sack leaders since the stat was officially tracked in 1982 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
