Derrick Thomas sack record
- Thread starter CraigMack
- Start date
Deacon Jones (I think), but that was in the late 50's and early 60's and they did not start actually recording them until the 80's. Some football fil historians have gone back and looked at films to get the numbers. Jones even popularized the term "sack".
Does Bama still give out his number each year to a “special” defensive player or did that go away?
I don't think so. I can't remember any starters on defense wearing his #55 in a long time.
As I recall Lee Roy Jordan's #54 was given to special defenders in the past like Mike DuBose and more recently Kendal Moorehead. Oh, here's an older discussion on the #54.
We probably should have retired that number a long time ago. If anyone deserved it, was DT.
