Quick, strong and dangerous: Dexter Lawrence II is the NFL’s very large unicorn

At 340lbs, the New York Giants star would be the largest player to lead the NFL in sacks for a season. Few would bet against him on current form

As you may expect for a discipline that requires speed as well as strength, the list of NFL sackmasters and pressure artists weighing 340lbs or more is pretty short.

Per Pro Football Reference, Dan Big Daddy" Wilkinson, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins and Washington from 1994 though 2006, is the NFL's all-time leading defender in that size range with 54.5 career sacks. Wilkinson stood 6ft 4in and weighed (at least) 340lbs. Behind Wilkinson are Sam Adams (44.0 career sacks at 6ft 3in, 350lbs), Shaun Rogers (37.5 sacks at 6ft 4in, 350lbs), Grady Jackson (35.5 sacks at 6ft 2in, 345lbs), Ted Washington (34.5 sacks at 6ft 5in, 365lbs), and Haloti Ngata (32.5 sacks at 6ft 4in, 340lbs).
