He's the only player to have 50 quarterback hits in a season - and Watt has accomplished the feat twice. Of the NFL single-season leaders in quarterback hits, Watt has the top-four marks in NFL history (quarterback hits were first tracked in 2006). Watt led the NFL in sacks twice, tackles for loss three times and quarterback hits in all four seasons. Justin Houston had the next closest sack total to Watt (50.5), while Lavonte David was the next closest in tackles for loss (68) and Carlos Dunlap was the next closest in quarterback hits (100). Watt's 2012 to 2015 seasons were the stuff of legend, as he led the NFL in sacks (69), tackles for loss (119) and quarterback hits (190). Michael Bennett (Buccaneers, Seahawks) - 93.Michael Bennett (Buccaneers, Seahawks) - 59.
Elvis Dumervil (Broncos, Ravens) - 43.5. To fully understand Watt's dominance, take a look at his numbers from the 2012 through 2015 seasons: Most sacks in NFL (2012-2015) Watt played in just 55 of a possible 97 games from 2016 through 2021 and still managed to earn first-team All-Pro honors in 2018 when he led the league in forced fumbles (seven) while finishing with 16 sacks - this after playing just eight games over the previous two seasons and racking up just 1.5 sacks. Incredible that Watt was able to miss so much time in the late 2010s due to injuries and still be the only player to have 175 tackles for loss and 300 quarterback hits since the start of the 2011 season. Most tackles for loss in NFL since 2011 (Watt's rookie year) Most QB hits in NFL since 2011 (Watt's rookie year) Most sacks in NFL since 2011 (Watt's rookie year) With Watt set to walk away from the game, this week's "By the Numbers" takes a look at Watt's Hall of Fame career and all of his accomplishments over the past 12 years. The four-year stretch Watt had from 2012 through 2015 is one of the best for any pass rusher in NFL history - and will get him enshrined in Canton one day. He's earned five first-team All-Pro selections while leading the NFL in sacks twice (2012, 2015), tackles for loss three times (2012, 2014, 2015) and quarterback hits four times (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). Watt has won three Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards, tied with Lawrence Taylor and Aaron Donald for the most in NFL history. For the past 12 years, Watt has been terrorizing quarterbacks and racking up his sack totals as a result (currently has 111.5 in his career) - establishing himself as one of the greatest pass rushers ever. #2018 nfl pass rush team stats pro
Watt has hinted that he'll be playing in his final NFL games over the next two weeks, capping off a career that is deserving of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
