Myles Garrett is on track to break a record that has stood for more than two decades.
The Cleveland Browns star has three more games to surpass Michael Strahan and TJ Watt’s single-season record of 22.5 sacks; He only needs one more to tie.
Garrett has been a first-team All-Pro in four of the last five seasons, but this season is by far the best of his eventual Hall of Fame career.

Joe Thomas faced Myles Garrett in practice for just one season; Thomas’ final year in the NFL was the same year Garrett went first overall out of Texas A&M. I may be biased, but he looked at Garrett personally and praised him highly.
“He’s the best defensive pass rusher I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Thomas said in a recent interview with Pak Gazette Digital. “And that goes back to watching Reggie White as a kid when he was with the Green Bay Packers winning a Super Bowl.”
Garrett has been a single bright spot for the Browns throughout his tenure there, but that’s especially true this season as Cleveland is 3-11. His record, however, makes Garrett’s season that much more special, Thomas said.

SHEDEUR SANDERS COULD BE ‘Franchise Guy’, Team Should Use Picks to Build Around Him, Browns Legend Says
“Sacks usually happen when the quarterback has to hold on to the ball because he’s trying to push it down the field. They’re trying to squeeze the lemon a little bit more because they need to. They’re losing, right? So they’re willing to take more chances. They’re willing to let their players go one-on-one in front in blocking so they can get more receivers on the field. When you’re winning, you don’t take those chances on offense,” Thomas explained. “And so the fact that Myles is getting all these sacks on a team that is generally behind, just adds to the fact that this guy and what we’re witnessing is one of the greatest performances in the history of the sport.”
Garrett requested a trade from the Browns during the offseason, citing his desire to win. However, a record $160 million contract quickly changed his mind, and to Garrett’s credit, he’s living up to every penny.
