Blue and Gold
and Donald officially leads NFL in tackles for loss and in QN knockdowns. You understand, as others don't understand, that DT play is not just sacks. It's getting presure, knocking down QB, tackling runners behind line of scrimmige. Added to which only one DT has more sacks (Atkins with 7.5).
Aaron Donald LA DT 42 16 38.1%
Cameron Jordan NO DE 54 16 29.6%
Olivier Vernon NYG DE 60 16 26.7%
Looks like three players tied with 16 with more total tackles as well.
He plays closest to the ball, he should have more than DE's.
