The highest sack total any rookie had last year was 8.5, and he was one of only 2 guys to surpass 5.0 sacks.

The last 3 drafts combined, there have only been 6 players that had a combined 7 seasons by a DE where they reached 10.0 sacks, all of them 1st round picks and 4 of those 6 players were top-5 picks...

2024:
None

2023:
Will Anderson x1 (3rd overall pick)
Will McDonald x1 (15th overall pick)

2022:
Aidan Hutchenson x1 (2nd overall pick)
George Karlaftis x1 (30th overall pick)
Travon Walker x2 (1st overall pick)
Kayveon Thibodeaux x1 (5th overall pick)

The high out of all of them was 11.5 sacks.

2022 was an outlier too. Most years look like 2023 and 2024.

2021 I think it was only Parsons
2020 Zero? Chase Young draft.
2019 Nick Bosa maybe Biran Burns?

Edit: Bosa only had 9 his rookie year so that's Zero for 2019 too.
