Does such a stat exist? And if not, I think it should.

Probably one of those things where you can look it up on individual player split pages, but for the whole league a leaderboard would need to be constructed.
May try that one of these days, but it could be found on split pages.

Another cool stat would be pass pressure-to-turnover ... Ed Jones would be up there in that statistic ...

Thanks for the tip. May give it a small test run.

So very quick run through of Reggie White’s possible 3rd down sacks in 1985 using Pro Football Reference’ play by play tab. Not Splits.
6.5 3rd down sacks. 13 for the year.
White, 1986, same method: 8 3rd down sacks, 18 for the year
Lawrence Taylor 1986: 6 3rd down sacks, 20.5 sacks for the year
