Pass rusher is one of the most important positions in football (and quite possibly the most important one on defense), as the ability to generate pressure and force the quarterback to get rid of the ball quickly can wreak havoc on an opposing team’s offense. Thus, having a disruptive pass rusher is a precious commodity in the NFL, and one that teams will often spend high draft picks on to mixed results. In the history of the NFL, no one got to the quarterback better than Bruce Smith or Reggie White, who with 200.0 and 198.0 career sacks, respectively, are the number one and number two all-time sack leaders. Between the two fearsome Hall of Fame pass rushers, however, the question is:
Who was better – Bruce Smith or Reggie White?
