Browns' Myles Garrett Sets Record for Most NFL Sacks Under 30

Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns made NFL history by surpassing Hall of Famer Reggie White for the most career sacks by a player under 30, reaching 108.5 sacks early in the Browns' game against the New England Patriots. Garrett's dominant performance included three first-half sacks that pressured Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and helped hold New England to a narrow 9-7 halftime lead. Throughout his career, Garrett has consistently posted double-digit sack seasons, with a career-high of 16 sacks in both 2021 and 2022, and entering 2025 with strong recent performances. Despite individual success, Garrett and the Browns have struggled to advance past the Divisional Round in the playoffs, partly due to challenges at the quarterback position. After a contract dispute earlier in the year, Garrett signed a four-year, $160 million extension with Cleveland, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback at the time. His continued excellence as a pass rusher is seen as vital to the Browns' hopes of returning to playoff contention.
