Myles Garrett is rewriting the record books, and the accolades just keep pouring in. His 2025 season wasn't just historic – it was legendary. The Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) cemented his place among the greats by unanimously selecting him to their 2025 All-NFL and All-AFC teams. This marks Garrett's sixth consecutive All-NFL honor, a feat unmatched by any active player. But here's where it gets even more impressive: he now shares the record for most consecutive first-team All-NFL selections at defensive end with the legendary Reggie White, who dominated from 1987 to 1992.
Garrett's 2025 campaign was a masterclass in pass-rushing dominance. He shattered the NFL single-season sack record in Week 18 with a staggering 23 sacks, surpassing his own Browns franchise record set in 2021 and tied in 2022. And this is the part most people miss: he became the first player since 1982 to record 12 sacks in six consecutive seasons, further solidifying his place in NFL history.
Garrett's impact wasn't limited to sack totals. He led the league with 33 tackles for loss, a career-high, and consistently disrupted opposing offenses. His Week 8 performance against the Patriots was particularly jaw-dropping, as he racked up five sacks, setting a new single-game Browns record.
But is Garrett the greatest defensive end of his generation? While his stats are undeniable, some argue that team success should factor into the conversation. The Browns, despite Garrett's heroics, fell short of a Super Bowl appearance in 2025. Does this diminish his individual achievements? We want to hear your thoughts in the comments.
One thing is certain: Myles Garrett is a force to be reckoned with, and his 2025 season will be remembered as one of the greatest individual performances in NFL history. With his relentless work ethic and unparalleled talent, don't be surprised if he continues to add to his already impressive list of accomplishments in the years to come.
