Myles Garrett kept some elite company in his 1st two seasons

Myles Garrett has quickly proven worthy of being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. In his first two seasons, the Browns defensive end has already posted some impressive results: 75 tackles, 20.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and a Pro Bowl berth.

Garrett is now established alongside some lofty company. According to Pro Football Focus, Garrett has been one of the best in the NFL over the last two seasons at rushing the passer.

Their charting eliminates screens and play-action fakes, showing a truer sense of pass rush ability on straight passing plays. Look at the names up there around Garrett: Khalil Mack, Von Miller, Cam Jordan, Demarcus Lawrence, Joey Bosa.

Garrett already belongs as one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, and he accomplished that despite being limited by former defensive coach Gregg Williams. Under new coordinator Steve Wilks, the NFL had better beware of the full impact of Myles Garrett.
