\n Even by his usual standards, Myles Garrett<\/a> is hunting quarterbacks at an extremely prolific level in 2025. He’s stampeded to 18 sacks within his first 11 games, including a jaw-dropping 14 over his past five. At that pace, he’s on track to finish with 28 quarterback takedowns, obliterating the single-season mark of 22.5, currently shared by T.J. Watt<\/a> (2021) and Michael Strahan (2001).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n It would be an obvious highlight of a career that seems sure to lead to a gold jacket and lifetime pass to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But there’s another<\/em> historic figure coming into view for the perennial Pro Bowler: the career<\/em> sack record of 200, held by the legendary Bruce Smith.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n After all, Garrett won’t turn 30 until the end of December — and he already has 120.5 sacks to his name. He’s also reached double-digit sacks for eight straight seasons and counting, giving him a realistic chance to swipe the sack crown before he wraps up his time on the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n As a former player, I played with Hall of Fame pass rushers Reggie White, Derrick Thomas and the aforementioned Smith. I was also part of the Carolina Panthers’ personnel staff that watched another Hall of Famer, Julius Peppers, lead our team to Super Bowl XXXVIII. So I know what an all-timer looks like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n Back before Garrett was selected first overall by the Browns in the 2017 NFL Draft, I compared Garrett to Peppers — and the Texas A&M product has not disappointed. He’s exhibited Canton-caliber qualities (like his chiseled, 6-foot-4, 272-pound frame, freakish athleticism and disruptive skills) while exemplifying exactly<\/em> what coaches and scouts are chasing in pass rushers each draft season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has dominated the game with a flair and pizzazz similar to Peppers, utilizing basketball-like maneuvers (SEE: his Allen Iverson-esque “crossover<\/a>“) to win against overmatched blockers at the point of attack. Additionally, he will flip his speed into power to overwhelm blockers with various bull rushes, dip-and-rip moves and swipes to crush the pocket from various alignments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
