Robert Quinn Found Success Against NFL's Toughest Slate of Offensive Tackles

Posted Aug 27, 2020
After accumulating 45 sacks his first four seasons in the NFL, former UNC star Robert Quinn looked poised to be a perennial Pro Bowler at the defensive end position. However, a series of injuries and scheme changes hindered his performance and dipped his sack total to 24 over the next four years. In 2019, Quinn had a comeback season for the ages.
