In 2013 the NFL introduced the Deacon Jones award – an accolade for the player to be credited for the most sacks in a season, named after the legendary Rams defensive end. That year, many thought it fitting (and likely) the first year recipient would be a Ram in the form of the 2011 first round draft selection, Robert Quinn. As it turned out, Quinn missed out by just half a sack to Indianapolis Colts’ Robert Mathis. In 2014, Quinn still finished in double digits with 10.5 sacks, but was some way off the award’s second winner, Kansas City’s Justin Houston.
Can the St Louis Rams’ Robert Quinn win the Deacon Jones award?
