Cleveland Browns Myles Garrett a betting favorite to win DPOY honors

The Cleveland Browns have greatly improved their defensive unit in the offseason. Myles Garrett is a favorite to win DPOY honors because of it.

It seems like season after season Cleveland Browns fans and NFL fans alike are buzzing at the midseason point about who will be winning each award.

And year after year it always looks like Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett ends up being up there in the discussion for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award before the eventual suspension, injury, or flat-out stall in production.

However, this year looks to be different.

With Jadeveon Clowney by his side, this Browns defensive front four will be giving Garrett plenty of opportunities to get to the quarterback. Some of the largest betting outlets have seen and acknowledged that as well.

Myles Garrett enters 2021 with very favorable odds to win the coveted Defensive Player of the Year Award according to WynnBet.

Should Garrett win the award, he will become the first and only Cleveland Browns player to win the award since its inception in 1971.

If Clowney can manage to stay on the field and play every game, he himself may have a chance at winning the award but he will also certainly create more opportunities for Garrett to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

With the Browns defensive line being greatly improved, it improves the defensive unit as a whole. If Garrett can play at a Defensive Player of the Year level all season, then not only will he have a great shot at winning the award but the Browns also have a great shot at making it to and winning the Super Bowl.

Joe Woods has without a doubt the most improved defense of the offseason and should be a very happy man once the season rolls around and he gets to see them take the field.
