The Cleveland Browns have one of the most imposing defensive players on their front line. His name is Myles Garrett. 

In a recent ESPN+ article, it was predicted that Garrett, one of the league's best pass rushers, would lead the league in sacks. 

It will be a nice change from the 2022 season that saw Nick Bosa lead the league in sacks by nearly 2.5 more than Garrett. 

In the sack department, Garrett is the model of consistency. Over the past two seasons, Garrett has claimed 16 sacks back-to-back. He has also claimed a 26.5% pass rush win rate. 

It is his consistency that has ESPN believing he will have a high-sack season yet again. 

Garrett is projected a 13.2  sack total. It is a number that is the highest ESPN's projection machine has ever predicted for a player. The previous highest was T.J. Watt when it predicted that he would hit a sack total of 12.8.
