Will Anderson Jr. leads the 2026 NFL sack race with 7.5 through six games, ahead of Greg Rousseau at 6.0 and a group including Dallas Turner, Chase Young, and surprise UDFA Elijah Ponder at 5.5. Several edge rushers sit on pace for double-digit totals, but reaching 15+ requires sustained pressure rates amid heavy passing volume, favorable game scripts, and minimal injuries over the remaining schedule. Myles Garrett’s move to the Rams after his 23-sack 2025 campaign and the depth of young pass rushers across contending teams shape expectations. Team defensive schemes, quarterback protection quality, and late-season rest or weather factors could shift individual trajectories before the regular season concludes.
