Bubba Baker has a number he wants Ziggy Ansah to shoot for to set the Detroit Lions’ record for sacks in a season, and he hopes he reaches it.
It’s a higher number than Ansah has said he has in mind. Baker’s answer to that? Aim even higher.
Ansah had 14.5 sacks last year and made his first Pro Bowl in his third season with the Lions. In a recent interview, Ansah expressed disappointment over not at least tying Robert Porcher’s official franchise record of 15 sacks, set in 1999.
Baker thinks Ansah has more to accomplish after making his first Pro Bowl, and that his goal should be higher than 15 sacks going after the franchise sack record.
