Yannick Ngakoue set the all-time single-season sack record during his final year at Maryland.
In his first NFL season, Ngakoue set another record as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ngakoue had eight sacks for the Jaguars and broke Tony Brackens’ record of seven sacks, which was set in 1992. The former Terrapin ended up leading Jacksonville in sacks on the season.
He also recorded 22 tackles (19 solo), four forced fumbles, two defended passes, and an interception in 15 starts. Ngakoue appeared in all 16 games as a rookie.
Ngakoue came in training camp having to fight for playing time.
