List of NFL career sacks leaders

This is a list of National Football League (NFL) players who have reached the 100-sack milestone.

The NFL began to keep track of sacks in 1982, with 46 players having reached the milestone in that time. Using unofficial record-keeping (dating back to 1960), an additional 21 players have finished with 100 or more career sacks, leading to a total of 67 players.

Although other major NFL records get broken every season, the league's career sack record remains difficult to challenge. In September 2025, NFL reporter for USA Today Jacob Camenker wrote that approaching Bruce Smith's 200 sacks would require "something special" and that the record "seems highly unlikely" to be broken.
