Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is showing why he is still one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL and why he is worth the money he was paid in the offseason.
With six minutes left in the third quarter, Garrett was able to get through his blocker and swat the ball out of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's hand, which was recovered by the Browns at the 1-yard line.

Garrett, who was suspended last season following his swinging a helmet at Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, was given a five-year contract extension in July. In spite of the incident last November, the Browns appear to be confident that Garrett will not be a burden moving forward.
Garrett had 10 sacks last season prior to the suspension. He recorded one tackle in the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
