Myles Garrett is already a Cleveland Browns superstar. But he has a chance to make history on Sunday against the New York Jets. Garrett is 1.5 sacks away from setting the Browns all-time record for most career sacks, per Ben Axelrod.
Garrett tallied 2 sacks in Cleveland's Week 1 win over Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers. Clay Matthews Jr holds the Browns all-time career sack record with 62 total sacks. But Myles Garrett may be able to breakthrough the Jets' offensive line and set a new record on Sunday.
However, it took Matthews 16 years to reach that mark. Meanwhile, Myles Garrett is just in his 6th career season. He is truly the definition of a quarterback hunter.
Myles Garrett, a 3-time Pro Bowler, recorded 7 sacks in his rookie season with the Browns back in 2017. In 2018, he upped his total to 13.5 sacks. Garrett has not tallied less than 10 sacks in a single season since the 2018 campaign. He set a new career high in 2021 when he finished with 16 sacks. His monster 2021 performance put him in perfect position to break the Browns' all-time sack record early in 2022.
