NFL Stats Leader 2021: Who has the most sacks heading into Week 10?

Accumulating sacks is what great defensive players do. The usual suspects remain in the top five this week, including Judon, Reddick and Landry, but new names have dropped into the top five and are currently tied with the three players listed.

Myles Garrett also continues to be one of the most dominant players on the defensive side of the ball, and at the halfway point of the season, he may be pulling away with DPOTY votes.

Here's a look at the top five sack leaders heading into Week 10.

Current top five sack leaders

#5 - Haason Reddick - 8.5 sacks

Haason Reddick has, once again, remained on the top five list for sacks. Oddly enough, his 8.5 sacks are in 5th place while the remainder of the names listed are tied for 2nd place. However, Reddick is only half a sack behind them.

Reddick continues to be the leader and a force on the defensive line for the Carolina Panthers. He has been a bright spot for a Panthers team that seems to, otherwise, be in turmoil. Reddick is trying his best to hunt down every opposing quarterback, even if the rest of the team isn't doing their part to keep pace with his skill.

#4 - Matthew Judon - 9.0 sacks

Another stalwart defensive player is Matthew Judon. He has also been in the top five or near the top five every single week this season. The New England Patriots should be plenty happy with Judon's production.

Judon continues to impress and is dominant when chasing down quarterbacks. His skill level has also seen quite an improvement since his days with the Baltimore Ravens. Judon continually gets in the face of every quarterback, with constant pressure and eventual sacks. The Patriots' defense is starting to settle in, and with Judon playing with such a high motor, it may be hard to stop come postseason.

Top 3 sack leaders heading into Week 10

Who are the top three sack leaders?

#3 - Harold Landry III - 9 sacks

Harold Landry III is also tied for 2nd place in the league for sacks. His 9 sacks have been accumulating week by week, where he has scored a minimum of half a sack. Simply put, Harold Landry gets after the quarterback every single week.

Landry is a big reason why this Titans defense has been so good, and they got a huge statement win last night against the Los Angeles Rams. The Titans are missing Derrick Henry, but have made up for that with their massive defensive output. Landry's consistent pressure is a big reason why the defense is constantly shutting down the highest-powered offenses in the league.

#2 - Markus Golden - 9 sacks

Coming out of nowhere to jump right into a three-way tie with Harold Landry and Matthew Judon is Markus Golden from the Arizona Cardinals. Where Chandler Jones once led the entire NFL with sacks, Golden has taken that place.

Although he has been a bit inconsistent, Golden has amassed 7 sacks in his last four games. Those are huge numbers and a big reason why the Arizona Cardinals are enjoying an 8-1 season. Their defense has been on fire lately, and Golden has become a huge reason why. His forced fumbles are tied for first. This is a man on a mission.

#1 - Myles Garrett - 12 sacks

Every single week, Garrett continually takes the top spot in sacks. Every single week, he finds ways to up his numbers. He is a monster on the field, and with 12 sacks at the halfway mark for the season, he may shatter the record.

Garrett just cannot be stopped, and if he is continually getting this many sacks every week, he should be an absolute lock for DPOTY. Michael Strahan's 22.5 are the most to happen in a season, and Garrett is only 10 short of that mark with nine games left in the season.
