Browns DE Myles Garrett tops PFF edge rusher list
Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett tops another preseason list.
Pro Football Focus announced their top ten edge defenders heading into the 2025 NFL season. Garrett was number one, followed by the Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parsons, then arch rival, T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Garrett has been the undisputed best defensive player in the NFL since Aaron Donald retired, much to the chagrin of his contemporaries.
Garrett had a very eventful offseason. The superstar spent the week leading up to the Super Bowl demanding a trade on media row. Garrett wanted the Browns to commit to winning as he entered the back half of his career. The Browns didn't commit to winning, but placated him with compliments, calling Garrett a 'Cleveland to Canton player' and giving him a new four-year extension that averages $40 million per year. The contract made him the highest-paid non-quarterback for a couple of weeks. Garrett is worth his weight in gold, and he'll have a chance to add some more hardware to his collection this season. The Browns committed themselves to Garrett with the contract and the draft. New defensive tackle Mason Graham is a great interior pass rusher. He's the ideal partner for Garrett. Graham can push the front of the pocket and stop quarterbacks from stepping up. Garrett will be able to tee off on quarterbacks. Garrett is trying his hardest to etch his name into the record books.

He has a good shot at getting over 20 sacks with Graham by his side. Garrett has a great opportunity this season to chase quarterbacks and the records of all-time greats.
