GMEN HQ:

Question #2: Shelton is well-regarded for his run-stopping ability. He quietly has 4 sacks the last two years. Is there more to come in his pass-rushing department or does his one sack in 2020 paint a more accurate picture of his abilities?

SideLion:

If we look at his entire career, Shelton only has one season with two or more sacks.

So, what you see there is what you get. One could look at the team around him last season and hope for more pass-rushing stats in the future. In New York, Leonard Williams will surely get more attention that might free Shelton up for a few additional sack opportunities, but anything more than two on the season would be a bonus.
