12. Myles Garrett

The Cleveland Browns have been on a roller coaster ride, since Myles Garrett arrived, and on occasion, it was Garrett who was running the controls.

Garrett was a consensus All-American at Texas A&M, and the Browns made him the number one pick in 2017.  The Defensive End did not have a great rookie year, but showed what he was capable of as a sophomore, earning Pro Bowl accolades in 2018, which he followed up with a second and third in 2020 and 2021, with those last two years seeing First Team All-Pro honors.  Garrett is currently on a four-year streak of 10-Plus Sacks.

Many casual fans might remember Garrett best for a 2019 altercation with Pittsburgh Quarterback, Mason Rudolph, which led to his season-remaining suspension, but we view him as the lead pass-rusher for the Browns over the last seven years, and the man who led the Browns defence to their best run in their second coming.  Last season, Garrett won the Defensive Player of the Year and led the NFL in Approximate Value (20).

He enters 2024 on a four-year Pro Bowl Streak, with 88.5 Sacks and 172 Quarterback Hits.
