Browns’ Myles Garrett Warns Ravens Star Amid Compliment
Myles Garrett, a standout defensive end for the Cleveland Browns, is making headlines as he pursues a historic NFL milestone this season. Currently leading the league with 11 sacks in just nine games, he aims to join the select group of players who have recorded 20 sacks in a single season. With his current trajectory, Garrett could exceed 20 sacks this year, potentially challenging the NFL record of 22.5 sacks, held by Michael Strahan.
Respect Among Rivals
As the Browns prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens, Garrett has received high praise from Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. Andrews described Garrett as “one-of-one” and potentially the best defensive athlete in NFL history. This recognition comes from years of competition, as Andrews often finds himself tasked with blocking Garrett during games.
Garrett’s Response to Praise
Garrett acknowledged Andrews’ compliments but made it clear that he won’t ease his approach on the field. “I have a lot of respect for him, but I’ll still hit him as hard as ever,” Garrett stated. His rivalry with Andrews adds another layer of excitement to their upcoming matchup.
Prioritizing Team Success
While personal achievements are important, Garrett emphasized that winning is his top priority. Following a game where he recorded five sacks but lost to the New England Patriots, Garrett expressed his frustration. “Winning is the main thing for me,” he said. “I’d trade all my sacks for a win.”
Looking Ahead
Garrett’s aspirations extend beyond individual records. He hopes to play deep into February, aiming for success as a team. “I want to have a good game to help us win,” he emphasized. “Personal goals are nice, but I want to play beyond January.”
