CLEVELAND — With his team set to take part in the NFL playoffs this weekend, the accolades for Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett keep coming in.
On Friday, Garrett was named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press for the third time in his career. Garrett received first-team All-Pro honors in 2020 and 2021, while being selected as second-team All-Pro in 2018 and 2022. He was the lone member of the Browns to make it to either the first or second team list.
Garrett, who is a top candidate for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, finished 2023 with 14 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 86 quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles. He was voted to start in his fifth Pro Bowl and also received several accolades from Pro Football Focus, including Defensive Player of the Year, Best Pass Rusher, and the Dwight Stephenson Award for best NFL player, regardless of position.
The 28-year-old Garrett was also selected to the second annual NFLPA Players' All-Pro Team, along with teammate Joel Bitonio. He is also a finalist for "Professional Athlete of the Year" at the upcoming Greater Cleveland Sports Awards.
