Rams’ Robert Quinn could be the next leader in NFL sack race

Posted Aug 25, 2014
The NFL’s next great pass rusher can be found across the state from Pass Rush City. St. Louis Rams defensive end Robert Quinn came within a half-sack of leading the NFL last season with 19. And he’s just 24 years old. Quinn could get a jump in the sack race this year because Indianapolis’ Robert Mathis, who led the league with 19 1/2 last year, will be serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
