Bill Glass has not lined up at defensive end for the Cleveland Browns since 1968, but he recently picked up a couple of team honors.
Thanks to the work of John Turney and Nick Webster, both members of the Pro Football Researchers Association, who spent decades researching NFL game statistics, fans now have a better understanding of sack totals dating back to the 1960 season.
While the NFL only started recording sacks as an official stat in 1982, Turney and Webster’s research was thorough enough that Pro Football Reference posted new individual and single-season sack totals, which is where Glass enters the picture.
