What happened: Reese reached the league-wide threshold following Sunday's road win over Philadelphia, where he posted three sacks and a forced fumble. The outing made him the youngest player in NFL history to record three sacks in a single game.
Why it matters: Selected fifth overall out of Ohio State, Reese has provided immediate return on New York's top-five draft capital. His dual ability to generate pressure off the edge and hold up in space cements his role as the centerpiece of the defense.
By the numbers: Reese has made 56 tackles with 1.5 sacks and 1 interception in 2026 through 7 games.
What to watch: Watch how opposing offensive lines scheme protection against Reese's pass-rushing packages in upcoming weeks.
