The No. 1 pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-4, 272-pound Garrett has established himself as one of the best defensive players in all of football through his first five seasons in the league. The Texas A&M product is currently one sack away from surpassing linebacker Clay Matthews Jr. as the Browns’ official all-time career sacks leader.
A two-time first-team All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection, Garrett had tallied three sacks through Cleveland’s first three games of the 2022 season, including two in the Browns’ season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers. Laying claim to a 2-1 record, Cleveland is set to face the Atlanta Falcons on the road on Sunday.
