This is a pretty arbitrary stat collection I'm gonna post but it's still impressive, I think you underrate Nink a lot and what he's done

quote:

There are only 4 players in the last 20 years with
46+ sacks 14+ FR 12+ FF & 5 INT
Jared Allen
Julius Peppers
Jason Taylor
Rob Ninkovich

True I was looking at his numbers and saw he has very high FF and FR numbers, and that is why that list is short.

But having high FF and FR numbers doesn't change the fact he was a high volume role player for most of his time there, or that he never achieved double digit sacks (yes sacks can be an arbitrary measurement but a benchmark nonetheless) unlike those other guys.

He had a set role and played it consistent and well. He wasn't a superstar that slipped from our grasp like people make him out to be.
