J.J. Watt is the only player to record 40 or more quarterback hits in a season since 2000 and he's done it in three straight seasons.

Watt had 50 quarterback hits in 2014, which was first in the NFL well ahead of Carlos Dunlap's 28 and Von Miller's 27.

Watt had 46 quarterback hits in 2013 and 43 in 2012.

The next highest total of quarterback hits in the NFL since 2000 came in 2013 by Robert Quinn and in 2012 by Cameron Wake with 33 apiece.
