At the end of November and with just six games left in the season, Carlos Dunlap had just 0.5 sacks to his name and he’d just played a season-low 4 snaps against the Washington Football Team. By the end of the season, he was the Seattle Seahawks’ sack leader.
Why yes, Rashaad Penny wasn’t the only player to finish strongly to end the year. Dunlap was brought over via trade to Seattle through the middle of 2020, as the team looked to jump start a struggling pass rush. The former Cincinnati Bengal provided instant success and a couple of clutch sacks in crunch time.
