Buffalo Bills legendary defensive end and NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith, 60, is getting ready for Halloween.
His Halloween decorations have a distinct NFL theme associated with them.
He has the “tombstones” of quarterbacks he sacked.
Smith is the league’s all-time sack leader with 200 so he has plenty of quarterbacks to feature.
Happy 58th birthday to the NFL’s all-time sack leader Bruce Smith!

Unfortunately, the picture shows just a small sampling of the quarterbacks Smith sacked including Boomer Esiason, Doug Flutie, Trent Green, Bernie Kosar, Jake Plummer, and Phil Simms.
Smith’s Halloween theme is not an original one.
He took the lead of a current NFL defensive end, Cleveland Browns Myles Garrett who had a similar display in his yard in 2021.

Garrett changes up his decor each year; 2022 was a “Stranger Things” display.
Myles Garrett’s house looks like it’s straight out of the Upside Down! 🧟🕷
The Browns player found inspiration from “Stranger Things” when it came to his Halloween decorations. Peep his take on the villainous Vecna from Season 4 of the hit Netflix show.

Halloween decorations and stellar football play are two topics that Smith and Garrett have in common.
Can Garrett Eclipse Smith’s Sack Record?
Garrett, 27, has 82 career sacks, and some wonder if he could catch Smith.
Smith played 19 seasons; Garrett is in his 7th.
Garrett is pacing well, but he would need longevity to pull it off.
He could average 10 sacks a year until age 38 and still not catch Bruce Smith…that’s how crazy that record is https://t.co/IIfwmO9qwz

If he plays for 10 more years and averages 12 sacks a year, he’ll surpass Bruce Smith. https://t.co/MIpcNl918q
