Though this sack won’t count in the official record book, Walker has been getting pressure steadily throughout the contest, which is a great sign for Jacksonville. The Jaguars finished the 2021-22 campaign with just 32 sacks, which was tied with the Houston Texans for 28th in the league.
The 6-foot-5 outside linebacker logged 9.5 sacks through three seasons at Georgia, with six of them coming in his final season in 2021.
