There were doubts in 2017 when the Cleveland Browns drafted Myles Garrett with the No.1 overall pick, but he has put all the doubt to rest.
If you could choose one word to describe the way Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett plays football to someone who has never seen him play, what would it be? Dominant!
That is why despite people questioning his motor and his love for the game, the Cleveland Browns selected Garrett three years ago and he hasn’t looked back since. He has had double-digit sacks each of the last two seasons and had 10 sacks in 10 games in 2019 before being suspended for the remainder of the season.
An edge rusher is one of the most impactful positions in football, as they can completely ruin an offense’s game plan. Garrett has done that more than a few times in his short career.
He’s had so many good games during his short career, so some of them didn’t make the list. So let’s look at a couple of honorable mention performances.
Honorable Mention Performances
In Week 7 of 2018 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Garrett recorded two sacks and a forced fumble. Later that same season against the Carolina Panthers he had five tackles and a sack in a winning effort. He had five tackles and two sacks to start the 2019 season against the Tennessee Titans, but Cleveland was defeated by 30 points.
Garrett has been one of the best players on the Browns roster since his first game. and that won’t change for the next 10 years. He will add more legendary performances to his resume, but they might not top some of the games he’s played already.
