Browns' Myles Garrett 'Trending Toward Best Season' in 2025

The Cleveland Browns' defensive leader believes he's trending toward his best season as a pro.

Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett started the offseason by demanding a trade.

Now, just a couple of months after signing a contract extension that made him the highest-paid (at the time) non-quarterback in the NFL, he's ready to have the best year of his eight-year career.

And that would be an accomplishment. 

Someone who knows something about how dominant Garrett can be, former NFL offensive lineman Terron Armstead, believes the former Texas A&M Aggies defender might be entering his prime in Year 9.

“He’s a problem. He has 0.5% body fat, so you’re looking at this guy before he gets in his stance — it doesn’t make sense. His ability to have so much power, to be that size, but can rush being just inches off the ground,” Armstead said during an appearance on Good Morning Football. “He’s added more elements to his game. Now you see the progression he’s made going into 2025. He’s going to touch 20 sacks.”

Now that he's locked in with a new contract and all the offseason distractions are gone, Garrett says he can focus on next season - and the future.

“I mean, I look forward to having my best season for sure, and I think it’s trending that way. Been really good, and I think everything’s pointed in that direction,” Garrett said during minicamp. “And I like where we are as a defensive unit. It’s really firing, really rolling, and I think it’s really clicking as far as the scheme and the plays, especially early on. That’s big.”
