Deacon Jones?
The NFL didn't record sacks in a season as an official stat until 1982, Strahan has the official record at 22.5., but who unoficiially has the record??



Nope
Basically an unanswerable question because pre-'82 teams recorded sacks and were inconsistent as to what constituted a sack or a half sack which led to a sack being recorded on a play as 1 sack for 'A' and 1 sack for player 'B'. The vagaries of individual 'team' play sheet recorders also played a factor.

Basically it could be Deacon Jones to hear him recount his sack exploits, but it could also be Coy Bacon of the '76 Cincinnati Bengals or Al 'Bubba' Baker of the '78 Detroit Lions.

ANSWER: It's debatable, the Cowboys were keeping sack records on their own, according to them, Harvey Martin had 23 sacks in 1977-14 game schedule

Deacon Jones said he got 22 sacks one year

Shit! I forgot about Inoki, Alzado is correct!, but there was a 3rd athlete that fought Ali, 2 down, one to go!

What 2 former NFLers became boxers and fought each other?
I don't know who the other NFL player is, Mark Gastineau was one. He had a 7 - 0 record, then he went up against a fighter that wasn't a tomato can and got knocked out.
