If the Cleveland Browns are finding success, star pass rusher Myles Garrett likely has something to do with it. He made his presence known early in the Browns’ Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots. On third-and-goal, Garrett blew past Patriots first-rounder Will Campbell to take down quarterback Drake Maye for a sack.
This sack marked the 108.5th of Garrett’s career, tying him with Hall of Famer Reggie White for the most ever by a player under 30. Garrett’s 30th birthday is on December 29, meaning the Browns will play eight more games beyond their remaining matchup with the Patriots. While injuries or strong focus from opposing offenses could pose challenges, Garrett seems poised to surpass White’s record sooner rather than later.
Since joining the Browns in 2017, Garrett has been remarkably consistent. Outside of his rookie year, in which he recorded seven sacks, he has posted double-digit sack totals every season. His career-high stands at a monstrous 16 sacks, achieved in both 2021 and 2022. Entering the 2025 campaign, Garrett was coming off back-to-back 14-sack seasons.
The only setback Garrett has encountered is team success. Since joining Cleveland, he has seen the Browns make the playoffs twice, but they have yet to advance past the Divisional Round. Much of Garrett’s tenure has been marked by the team’s struggle to find a reliable starting quarterback. However, if the Browns do find their way back into playoff contention, Garrett will undoubtedly be the catalyst for their success.
Even with Cleveland currently locked into the NFL’s cellar, this pass rush star has proven time and again that he will have no problem getting to the quarterback. Myles Garrett remains a dominant force and a cornerstone of the Browns’ defense as they look toward the future.
