Love seeing willie Davis at #1. Another larger than life Lombardi era legend.

I wonder if Z or Rashan Gary will make a push at that list.

Kampman was so good there for a few years. I think Z is obviously better and Gary has a shot to string together a bunch of 8-12 sack seasons because he’s so young and just hitting his stride.

Where does Gary have to finish on the all time sack list to be considered a good #12 overall? 8 years of 8 sacks would make him 5th overall, just ahead of Reggie.

Clay Matthews was such an exciting player. Wish he would have made it to 100 career sacks to give him an outside shot at the hall of fame.

My recollection is that Clay Matthews really fizzled late in his career, which can distort memory. Maybe I have this wrong, but I think his drop-off started earlier than other stud LBs.

Hardy Nickerson was 53 when he came to pack, right?

Clay fizzled after he was in that performance enhancing drug scandal. Dropped right off to average. But early clay was a BEAST

Add his 11 playoffs sacks to the 91.5 he accumulated in the regular season (including his token appearance in the Blue and Gold) and the Claymaker dismantled QBs behind the LOS 102.5 times.

I liked the Claymaker cos, at least in the rye, he didn’t act like the privileged white boi he is. Claymaker was as cocky as a Negroloid who escaped the ghettos and made it big, as cocky as a Mongoloid who escaped the slums and made it big, as cocky as a Caucasoid who escaped the hills and made it big.
