Who holds the NFL rookie record for sacks by a DT?
Ndamukong Suh just added another 1.5 sacks to his resume, I want to know who holds the current NFL rookie record for sacks by a DT to compare for an article.
Already tried Google...
Closest I can find is this: http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/... but those are all DEs
kcawh: I agree... I'm more laughing at my TB friends who said they got the best player of the 2. McCoy is good, but Suh is Suh-per

Man, good question. Off the top of my head, I know the Vikings' Kevin Williams had quite a few as a rookie, but I looked it up, and he only had 10.5, and I think he split time at end that year. Dana Stubblefield came to mind, but again, he only had 10.5. Another Viking DT with a mess of sacks was Keith Millard - he had 11 as a rookie. He was mostly a nose tackle, and he didn't even start that year. He also holds the record for most sacks in a season by a DT. Too bad he blew out his knee.
I'm just going off the top of my head, but most of the sack-specialist DT's really didn't get going until their 2nd or 3rd year. I can't think of anyone who got more than Millard, but I'm anxious to see what someone else can dig up.

Michael Strahan holds the single season NFL sack record at 22.5 Bruce Smith holds the career NFL sack record at 200.

Damn i want to know the answer to this! And to think there were a few Lions fans angry that they didn't pick Gerald McCoy. They obviously aren't very bright. Keep reppin' Nebraska well Suh! Just imagine how much better he will be as he gets more experience.
