Sacks can be fickle. Even the best pass rushers in the NFL will find them scarce if they are constantly getting double or triple-teamed (like Von Miller was often while in Denver). A game-plan with lots of quickly routes in the passing game, can also lead to few or no sacks from an elite pass rusher. Out of curiosity I wanted to know who was the most consistent pass rusher in the NFL in 2021. I looked at sacks first because they are “sexier”. The pressure data and discussion is later.
I looked at the top 20 in sacks for the 2021 regular season and then gathered the sacks that each player had in each game.
