NFC South sacks leaders: How far can Cameron Jordan separate himself?

[ASFN Admin]

The NFC South has been home to some of the most disruptive defenders the game has ever seen, whether wreaking havoc off the edge or collapsing the pocket from the interior. A trio of pass rushers from the division have cemented their place among the NFL's top 25 sack leaders of all time -- a statistic that has long served as the benchmark for greatness at the position.

When it comes to the NFC South, however, a handful of players stand above the rest. One built a Hall of Fame career almost entirely with a single franchise, while another is still adding to his legacy and climbing the all-time leaderboard with each passing season. Their ability to consistently pressure quarterbacks not only helped shape their respective teams but also left a lasting mark on the division as a whole.

With that in mind, we're taking a look at the all-time sack leaders for NFC South division and the pass rushers who made life miserable for opposing quarterbacks.
