Top 5 of the Last 50: Pass Rushers

I’ve seen at least two of these guys change a whole game due to their athleticism. Solid list

 

[wfschrec]

I probably would have put Rob Barnett at 5 ahead of Mitchell.

I love both guys but Mitchell is sixth all time at Cuse in sacks as a nose tackle and Burnett is in tenth. Mitchell was an absolute force. I still smile thinking how he dominated Colorado in the 93 Fiesta Bowl.

had mitchell been a bit bigger he would have been crazy good,

 

[anglerman]

Freeney is first period without question.

 

[XC Cuse]

Jay Bromleys senior year was pretty good

 

[crales44]

To be honest, I'm not sure Chandler makes my top five. He was more good than great at Syracuse. Different story in the pros, where he really flourished.

 

[shu 49]

Freeney is first period without question.

Agreed

 

[23Zone]

Terry Wooden would be 5.5

Yeah. I'm not sure pro stats should matter all that much. 10 sacks over the course of 3 seasons doesn't scream top 5 to me. Clearly, the tools were obvious, he was a first round pick.

I'm ok with Green being #1 over my avatar. He did have 11.5 more career sacks and was a consensus all American. I saw the list for most sacks in a game. Of course Freeney putting Vick on his back 4.5 times is #1. #2? Green with 4 against... Virginia Tech.

Edit: We have 4 other guys with 4 sack games. 3 of those were against Pitt.

 

[sufandu]

Crazy to think Freeney had 13 sacks in 2000. How many does he get if he doesn't miss the end of VaTech and the last 4 games of the season? We probably don't get to have 2001 if he doesn't get hurt. And he's not around to sign my football after the 2001 spring game.

 

[Yeti]

Biased but that year we had both Alton Robinson and Kendall Coleman with 10 sacks should be its own entry.

 

[upperdeck]

We don't need NFL good pass rush guys, but it sure helps if you have college good pass rush guys on the Dline.

His brother could be in consideration for the 2008 Notre Dame game alone.
