Who’s the player with the fastest 100 career quarterback sacks in NFL history?

T.J. Watt is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ all-time pass rusher, and he gave another example against the Dallas Cowboys by reaching 100 career sacks. Watt only needed 109 games to reach that number, making him the second-fastest player to reach 100 quarterback sacks.

The 29-year-old pass rusher needed just half a quarterback sack to reach 100 as a pro, and he did it on the final play of the first quarter against the Cowboys. Watt got past Terence Steele's block and combined with Nick Herbig to rip the ball away from Dak Prescott.

It’s hard to believe, but this was Watt’s first time sacking Prescott. The Steelers-Cowboys matchup only happens every four years in the NFL’s schedule. The last time they played was in 2020, but Prescott couldn’t play because that was the season when he suffered a compound ankle fracture and was out of the field for a prolonged time.

Who is the quarterback most sacked by T.J. Watt?

Baker Mayfield is the quarterback who has been sacked the most times by T.J. Watt. The Wisconsin graduate suffered 8.5 sacks while he was there. Behind him is Lamar Jackson, with 7.5. Joe Burrow and Jeff Driskel share the third spot for most-sacked quarterbacks by the younger Watt, having been sacked behind the line of scrimmage 3.5 times.

The number “90″ of the Steelers sacked Matt Ryan, Brock Purdy, Tyrod Taylor, and Justin Fields, who is now the Steelers’ starting quarterback, three times.

Who is in front of T.J. Watt on the all-time career 100 fastest quarterback sacks list?

Reggie White, the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XXXI champion is also second all-time among NFL career sack leaders with 198.

White completed 100 quarterback sacks in 96 games while playing for the Eagles, making him one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the sport’s history, with that feat.

White played football at the University of Tennessee, where he was an All-American in his senior year. Over his 15-year-long NFL career, he played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, and Carolina Panthers.

White was an ordained Baptist minister who was devoted to his Christian faith, earning him the nickname “Minister of Defense.” On the morning of December 26, 2004, White was rushed from his home in Cornelius, North Carolina, to a nearby hospital in Huntersville, North Carolina, where he was pronounced dead. White was posthumously inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
