BEREA, Ohio -- Though Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett registered his fourth consecutive season with 14 or more sacks in 2024 and continued to establish himself as one of greatest pass rushers of his generation, his accomplishments felt hollow in the midst of a 3-14 finish.
In the face of another lost year -- the sixth losing season he's endured since entering the NFL in 2017 -- Garrett on multiple occasions stated his desire for his personal accolades to be paired with team success.
"That's a nice accomplishment to have," Garrett said in late December after he joined Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor as the only players in league history with at least 12 sacks in five straight seasons.
