Myles Garrett took his already impressive skills to a new level in 2019. The Browns defensive end was in the midst of an incredible season before his suspension cut everything short.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Garrett was the most disruptive pass rusher in the league in 2019.
The metric for disruption includes the combined total of hurries, pressures or sacks divided by the number of pass rush snaps per player. Only one form of disruption counts per play (a sack doesn’t also count as a hurry). And nobody did it better in 2019 than No. 95 in brown and orange.
Garrett’s disruption rate was the best in the NFL. He registered a pressure on 17.1 percent of dropbacks in 2019, which was the highest percentage posted by a player since the 2016 season. He also became one of just three players to post a pressure rate of 12 percent or higher in each of the last three seasons.
As a surprise bonus for the Browns, Cleveland’s unheralded free agent signee, Adrian Clayborn, ranks 9th on the list.
