There is no question that Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is one of the best in the league, but exactly how disruptive was he last season? The Top-10 disruptors of 2022 was put together by Nick Shook of NFL.com and Garrett made the list.
Myles Garrett checks in at number three as the second-highest defensive end. Garrett lead the list in turnovers caused by quarterback pressure, but this has been known for quite some time. Garrett was behind only Bosa in quarterback pressures (73-72) and sacks (18.5-16), while being second in quarterback pressure rate behind Parsons (16.4%-16.3%). 2022 was the fifth straight season of double-digit sacks for Garrett and the second consecutive tallying 16.
Shook mentioned the improvements from Garrett year over year in these areas while adding the following note about the Browns pass rusher.
As it stands now, he’s among the best and most disruptive defenders in the NFL. That’s no longer debatable. Most of the players in these rankings change with each passing year, but Garrett always finds his way into the top 10 for good reason: He’s as reliable as they come.
Nick Shook on Myles Garrett
If anyone has not yet realized that Myles Garrett is one of the best players in the league, now is the time to do so. Film backs that up. Stats back that up. Advanced stats back that up. At this point it is impossible to argue anything different. Garrett is the Browns defense and statements like that only apply to the best of the best. Continuing to make lists such as this one will only solidify his place among the NFL’s elite defenders.
