T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers led in this category with 19 sacks a season ago. Jacksonville Jaguars star Josh Allen was second with 17.5. Both should be near the top again in 2024. We’ll be updating this throughout the 2024 season.

5. Danielle Hunter, Houston Texans + Micah Parsons, Dallas Cowboys + Jonathan Greenard, Minnesota Vikings
He may be on a new team, but Danielle Hunter’s not done terrorizing quarterbacks just because he plays for the Houston Texans instead of the Minnesota Vikings. The former fourth-round pick has clinched his third consecutive double-digit sack season and his sixth overall. He could very well end up with a gold jacket and a bronze bust in the Canton Pro Football Hall of Fame someday.

1. Trey Hendrickson, Cincinnati Bengals
It’s no surprise to see the three-time Pro Bowler on this list again after Trey Hendrickson finished second in the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season. Hendrickson’s here thanks to a pair of two-sack performances, a 3.5-sack finale, and an incredible four-sack game against the Raiders. The Bengals didn’t make the playoffs, but Hendrickson still finished as the 2024 NFL sack leader.
