The Minister of Defense — the greatest pass rusher in NFL history, whose 198 career sacks is the second-highest total ever recorded.

Reggie White is the greatest defensive end in NFL history. His combination of extraordinary size, speed and technical pass-rushing skill — including his devastating "hump move" — made him virtually unblockable. He recorded 198 career sacks and won Super Bowl XXXI with the Green Bay Packers. He was also an ordained minister, earning his nickname "The Minister of Defense."

His signature move — the "hump move" — involved a quick shoulder fake that was so effective that offensive linemen specifically trained just to stop it.
