The 'NFL year-by-year sack leaders' quiz

Created on March 4, 2026 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 44 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

After five seasons and multiple extended holdouts with the Cincinnati Bengals, four-time Pro Bowler Trey Hendrickson will be wearing a new uniform in 2026.

The Bengals said they won’t use the franchise tag on the nine-year veteran coming off of an injury riddled 2025, but there should be a robust market for his services. Before missing 10 games last year, Hendrickson had at least eight sacks and a Pro Bowl nod in his first four campaigns with Cincinnati. In 2024 he led the entire NFL with 17.5 sacks, his second straight season with that many. While he could technically re-sign with the Bengals, the 31-year-old former third-round pick has already taken to social media to say goodbye.

“To the Cincinnati Fans: Thank you for supporting me in the relentless pursuit of winning,” he wrote.

“You’ve made the Jungle Roar when I hunted QB after QB! Memories of those moments will live in my heart & mind forever.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. The NFL began officially tracking sacks as a statistic in the 1982 season. Can you name every player to lead the league in sacks for each season since then?

Good luck!
