Who are the top three sack leaders?

#3 - Hasson Reddick - 6.5 sacks

Just like the number four and five on this list, Hasson Reddick currently sits tied for 3rd place with 6.5 sacks. The difference between Reddick, Judon, and Landry is that Reddick has been a tad bit more inconsistent with being able to achieve his sack count.

Over the past six weeks, Reddick has been held out of sacks in two separate games. In three of those contests, Reddick logged over a sack each game. If he can continue to put up more than one sack heading into the next few games, he could shoot to the top of the list.

#2 - T.J. Watt - 7.0 sacks

Former Defensive Player of the Year runner-up T.J. Watt is back to his sack monster ways. He currently sits at number two on the list with seven sacks through six weeks. Even more impressive is his ability to create turnovers at crucial moments.

Watt was able to get a strip-sack on the Seahawks in overtime, which resulted in the Pittsburgh Steelers coming away with a win and getting their record to 3-3. Without Watt, the Steelers might be looking at a very long season.

#1 - Myles Garrett - 8.0 sacks

The king of defensive ends is none other than Myles Garrett. The Cleveland Browns defense is one of the most stellar units in the entire league, and that is primarily due to Garrett's high motor.

Although the Browns have lost their last two games, Garrett remains one of the shining stars that could help pull the Browns out of their current woes.

Through six games, Garrett has been able to achieve at least half a sack, except for Week 2, where he was held to no sacks on the day.
