14. Randy White, DT

  • Dallas Cowboys (1975-88)
  • 1977 Super Bowl MVP / 1977 Super Bowl Champion / 7-Time 1st Team All-Pro

One of the guys who can’t touch Bruce Smith’s sack number yet ranks higher is former Dallas Cowboys legend Randy White. One of the reasons was because sacks were yet to be an official stat.

Coming to Dallas at the perfect time (as Bob Lilly was starting to slow down), White oftentimes single-handedly dominated football games.

White incredibly only missed one game during his entire 14-year NFL career. Not only was he big enough for the defensive tackle position, he was perhaps the quickest defensive tackle the league ever laid eyes on.

Only one other guy on this list has taken home a Super Bowl MVP award.
