"And the draft's top two defensive end picks--Kansas City's Tyson Jackson and Buffalo's Aaron Maybin--didn't have a single sack between the two of them."
*****************************
That's the truly stunning stat I learned in this article. And Jackson was the #3 overall pick in last years Draft. That seemed to be a huge price to pay for
any 3-4 downlineman, but then to have him not get a single sack. And of course OLBs are the primary pass-rushers in that defense, but a team that invests such a high pick on a downlineman I'm sure expects him to make some contribution to sack-totals.
