The Philadelphia Eagles knew they were getting an elite pass-rusher when they drafted former Tennessee DE Derek Barnett.

On Thursday night, Eagles fans got to see the first of what’s sure to be many sacks from Barnett. For Tennessee fans, this is certainly nothing knew.

Barnett broke Vols legend’s Reggie White school sack record, notching No. 33 of his career in the team’s Music City Bowl win over Nebraska. NFC quarterbacks will know Barnett’s name soon enough.
