Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, Watt is the first player since Kevin Greene in 1998 to have multiple sacks in each of the first four games of a season.
If Watt can register at least 1½ sacks against the New York Jets on Monday night, he'll be one game short of Michael Strahan's NFL record of six in a row with multiple sacks. During his six-game stretch in 2001, Strahan had 14 sacks on his way to the league record of 22½.
“You love the fanatical effort,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said about Watt. “The guy plays with his hair on fire. The size (6-foot-5, 295 pounds), strength, athleticism — it's rare to find a guy with that kind of combination. “Obviously, if you have a vote for defensive player of the year, how do you not give it to that young man? He's been absolutely tremendous.”
Even Sexy Rexy is giving Watt some praise and he's coached some of the best defensive players during his time coaching in Baltimore and now the Jets. I'd sure love to see him make a run at Michael Strahan's single season sack record of 22.5.
