Reggie White was known as “The Minister of Defense”. Besides being an ordained Baptist minister at 17 he was a terror on the defensive line for first the Philadelphia Eagles, and then the Green Bay packers under Mike Holmgren. He was named the Defensive Rookie of the year, and after that no one could figure out a way to stop him, because he then recorded 13 straight trips to the pro bowl. In 1987 in only 12 games due to a strike shortened season he amassed 21 sacks from the defensive line to earn two straight seasons with the sack title. In 121 total games played he totaled 124 sacks with the Eagles and by the time he retired with the Packers in 2000 he was the all time leader in sacks for their career.
