Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has been on a tear in the sacks department as of late, which has caught the attention of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
Garrett currently leads the NFL in a multitude of notable defensive stats, from sacks (12.0) to quarterback hits (23). Even as opposing offensive coordinators have called double teams for him, Garrett still continues to lead Cleveland's front seven by simply causing havoc against quarterbacks.
For a head coach who has had to gameplan against a multitude of potent pass rushers over his run with the Patriots, Belichick still stands much impressed with Garrett's prowess when it comes to rushing the passer.
In speaking during a press conference ahead of the Patriots' upcoming Week 10 matchup against Cleveland, Belichick opened up on just what makes Garrett a formidable pass rusher.
“Everything,” Belichick said. “Power. Explosion. Speed. Instincts. He can do it all. He's got a tremendous skillset. Smart player. Very instinctive player. Reacts extremely quickly. He's as tough a matchup as there is in the league.”
New England's offensive line has not been among the more assertive in the league this season, especially as quarterback Mac Jones has been sacked a total of 17 times over nine starts. This surely has caught the eye of the Browns coaching staff, as Garrett could be in for a standout performance in this upcoming matchup.
Regardless of their approach for this contest, the Patriots sure will have much on their plate in Week 10 to slow down Garrett.
