ALAMEDA – The Raiders sack leader is not a guy you’d expect. It’s defensive tackle Stacy McGee, a fourth-year veteran primarily known as a rotational run stuffer who has shown greater pass-rush ability this season.
He has 2.5 sacks in the first five games, including 1.5 in Sunday’s 34-31 victory over the San Diego Chargers. He also had four tackles and two forced fumbles in that game, by far his best statistical showing as a pro.
“Stacy’s a guy who has done some great things for us,” Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio said in his Monday press conference.
