Aaron Schobel, who played for the Bills from 2001 to 2009, is a force to be reckoned with on the field. He was acknowledged for his pace and agility, which made him one of the most feared skip rushers within the league. In truth, he sacked Tom Brady more than another player in NFL history.

Despite his stunning career data, Schobel appears to be forgotten by using many whilst discussing the greatest players of his generation. One of the recent tweets making abuzz in the NFL world as it states:
