A member of the 100 Sack club, Robert Mathis proved time and time over his career that he was a certified beast on the pass rush.
Following a season where he was a vital part of a Colts defense that would win Super Bowl XLI, Mathis would be named to six consecutive Pro Bowls culminating in 2013 where he would be named the AFC Defensive Player of the Year and lead the NFL in Sacks. Known for his way of evading blockers by getting them to ommitt to where he was no longer there, Mathis might have enjoyed the least amount of contact of anyone with 100-plus Sacks!
In a career spent entirely with the Indianapolis Colts, Mathis would net 123 Sacks with 527 Tackles.
