That's about the extent of people who played that many seasons in their primes during that exact same 11 year period. To show just how much you're manipulating his stats by doing this, you're saying he's 9th in sacks during that time frame, but he only cracked the Top 20 once during that period. The guy had one double digit sack season and you're making him out to be an elite pass rusher.
My point by showing his career totals is to prove his consistency and durability. He was a steady grinder instead of a guy who flashed a big year once or twice and then disappeared.
It takes some special type of spin to shit on a guy for ranking top ten in the league over a decade. And, of course it also requires you to just look at one stat like sacks and ignore everything else like tackles, QB hits, and passes defended.

Dunlap was BELOW AVERAGE for a DE in broad jump, long jump, bench press, 3-cone drill, and short shuttle. He also had a DUI arrest before the bowl game but that had nothing to do with work ethic.
