He is my favorite defensive end and has 5 Superbowl rings. He doesn't get credit like triplets, but he and so many Offensive and Defensive and Special Teams and coaches made Dallas 1992 to 1996 one best teams of all times.
Two of the most criminally UNDERRATED defenses of all time are the 49ers of the late 80's and Cowboys of the early 90's. The offense for both of those teams got ALL the praise and attention because of the star power on each. Who was the X factor of both defenses? Charles Haley.
Mr. Haley could dominate the whole game, he was as exciting as offensive player and even if he didn't touch the quarterback he could blow up the whole play while the quarterback ran for his life. lol. Maybe there has been but I haven't even seen anyone play like he did. There was like two defenses, Haley and the other one. lol.
He's the best lineman of all time. He caused more false starts, slapped more qb's in the face and intimidated more lineman in the history of the league. Better than Reggie or Bruce.
But honestly it shows he wasn't as great as the stats show because most of his sacks were from a stunt play or a mix up with the offensive line where's he's untouched
