Al Baker, not Michael Strahan, has most sacks in an NFL season?

By Zac Wassink  |  Last updated 7/12/21 New York Giants legend and Hall of Famer Michael Strahan controversially set the official record for most sacks in a season in January 2002 with 22.5 after Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre may or may not have taken a dive to the ground:  It turns out Strahan s mark may be even more illegitimate than critics say.  As Mike Lynch wrote for Sports Reference, the NFL only officially began tracking individual player sacks in 1982, but Pro Football Researchers Association members John Turney and Nick Webster have worked to compile sack numbers from the 1960s through 1981. They found that Al Bubba Baker tallied 23 sacks his rookie campaign in 1978, a number never topped by Strahan or anybody else.

Sacco Sez: Karl Mecklenburg, Broncos most-unsung draftee, makes Hall of Very Good

May 02, 2021 at 10:55 AM Copied! One constant about the NFL Draft is that every year there are unsung players who become standouts for their team. Once upon a time, the draft had 12 rounds. And for the Broncos in 1983, there weren t many picks lower than their 12th-rounder at No. 310. For the player Denver selected, Karl Mecklenburg, that experience was a defining moment for the beginning of his career. It was so late at night that I did not even get a call from a coach, Mecklenburg recalls. Jenny Anne Cary, the scouting secretary, called me and let me know the Broncos had drafted me and she had made airline reservations for me to come to Denver.
