Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was the only member of the 2017 draft class' top five picks to get the fifth-year option in his rookie contract picked up.

ESPN's Field Yates highlighted the fact Saturday:

Garrett has missed 11 games through his first three NFL seasons. He suffered from a high-ankle sprain and a concussion during his rookie season and received a season-ending suspension November for swinging Mason Rudloph's helmet at him in a fight against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was reinstated ahead of the 2020 season.
