Stat of the day

[Rams and Gators]

Tackles behind the line of scrimmage (rushing plays and sacks) by a DT in their rookie year since 1999 (all stats according to Pro-Football-Reference):

1. 2001: Shaun Rodgers 18 (15 rushing + 3 sacks)
2. 2010: Ndamukong Suh 17.5 (8 rushing + 9.5 sacks)
3. 2013: Sheldon "Old Man Football" Richardson 17 (13 rushing + 4 sacks)
4. 2003: Kevin Williams 15.5 (6 rushing + 9.5 sacks) Williams is listed as a LDE/LE/nt for his rookie season so not sure if he should be on the list or not, but it doesn't affect the 5th position so I will do.
5. 2000: Chris Hovan 13 (11 rushing + 2 sacks)
5. 2011: Muhammad Wilkerson 13 (10 rushing + 3 sacks)

Through half a season Aaron Donald currently sits at 10 (7 rushing + 3 sacks)

Of the players on that list plays of -5 yards or better:

Ndamukong Suh 7 (1 rushing + 6.5 sacks)
Kevin Williams 7 (1 rushing + 6.5 sacks)
Sheldon "Old Man Football" Richardson 4.5 (1 rushing + 3.5 sacks)
Chris Hovan 2 (2 sacks)
Muhammad Wilkerson 2 (2 sacks)
Shaun Rodgers 0

Through half a season Aaron Donald currently sits at 5 (3 rushing + 2 sacks)

You have Donald listed twice, which stat is correct?

You have Donald listed twice, which stat is correct?

First one is negative 1 yard, second one is for negative 5 yards, both are correct if Pro-Football-Reference is correct.

Cool stat! Thanks! His numbers should improve I would think in the second half of the season over the first so he has a nice shot at making a big mark among those all time greats. Even at current pace he is #1.

I'm shocked at how good he is. We've never had a rookie impact our team like this.
