During his first four years in the NFL he averaged at least as many sacks as games played in a season. And over the course of his career White averaged about 13.5 sacks per 16-game regular seasons. Smith wouldn’t have touched his sacks record if White would have met either average. But more important to me is White’s per-season better numbers: He was better vs. the run and pass and in turnovers. What else is there?</p></blockquote><p></p>
