Myles Garrett's ambitions are as towering as his on-field presence. Fresh off his second NFL Defensive Player of the Year award and setting the single-season sack record in 2025, Garrett is laser-focused on capturing a Super Bowl title and the coveted Super Bowl MVP.
When chatting with Green Bay Packers' standout Micah Parsons, Garrett didn’t mince words about his next big goals: “Super Bowl. Super Bowl MVP.”
For the Cleveland Browns, a team yet to grace the Super Bowl stage, the journey has been rocky. With back-to-back tough seasons-3-14 in 2024 and 5-12 in 2025-the franchise is in a rebuilding phase. Kevin Stefanski's departure has ushered in Todd Monken as the new head coach, tasked with turning the tide.
Garrett's commitment to the Browns is solidified with a contract extending through 2030, featuring a no-trade clause and $123.5 million in guaranteed money. This makes his quest for a Super Bowl in Cleveland a challenging, yet tantalizing prospect.
Winning a Super Bowl MVP as a defensive player is a rare feat, achieved by only ten players, with Von Miller being the last in Super Bowl 50. Garrett's desire to elevate his game to these heights underscores his relentless drive.
Interestingly, Garrett requested a trade last offseason before securing his blockbuster deal, driven by his championship aspirations. “While I’ve loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won’t allow me to be complacent,” he expressed. His sights are set firmly on the ultimate prize.
With 125.5 career sacks, Garrett is on a trajectory that could see him surpass Bruce Smith’s all-time sack record in about five-and-a-half seasons. His Hall of Fame future seems assured, but his playoff success remains limited, with just one victory against the Steelers in the 2020 AFC Wild Card game.
At 30, Garrett shows no signs of slowing down. The Browns' transformation into contenders under Monken is uncertain, but with Garrett's determination, anything is possible. The path might be steep, but Garrett’s resolve is as formidable as his pass rush.
