1. Myles Garrett

Myles Garrett is already the best defensive end in the game, so there’s not much room for his stock to go up, yet, it’s through the roof again.

Garrett had five pressures on 46 rushes, according to NFL Next Gen stats. He totaled two sacks. It’s his second consecutive multi-sack game.

He also posted the third game in a row in which he recorded a strip sack. This time, he got to Dak Prescott with 11:23 remaining in the second quarter. The Browns cashed in a touchdown four plays later, scoring yet another touchdown off a turnover.

Garrett now has 5.0 sacks through four games and he’s well on his way to breaking the franchise records for takedowns, which was set by Reggie Camp (14) back in 1984.

The Browns secondary will leave questions throughout the season, but with Garrett flying off the edge, the defense will always have a chance.

Additionally, Olivier Vernon was healthy, starting and contributing for the Browns, as NFL Next Gen Stats reported that he recorded eight pressures of Dak Prescott on 44 pass rushing attempts.
