Myles Garrett Dominates PFN’s Top 100 After Blockbuster Rams Trade

Myles Garrett has cemented his status as the NFL’s most dominant defensive force, earning the No. 3 spot in PFN’s 2026 Top 100 players rankings. The Cleveland Browns’ all-time sacks leader was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in a blockbuster offseason move, solidifying his legacy as a generational talent.

What Makes Garrett Stand Out?

Garrett’s dominance was underscored by PFN analyst Ian Cummings, who called him an 'incarnation of sheer terror.' Cummings highlighted Garrett’s ability to command double-teams, a rarity even among elite pass rushers. The 2026 season rankings placed Garrett as the top edge rusher, a testament to his relentless pursuit of quarterbacks.

Why the Trade Matters

The Browns received a haul for Garrett, including two-time Pro Bowler Jared Verse and multiple high draft picks. Meanwhile, the Rams gain a player with seven Pro Bowl nods, five All-Pro selections, and two Defensive Player of the Year awards. Garrett’s arrival in Los Angeles has sparked speculation about a potential reunion with Aaron Donald, who retired after last season.

Garrett’s Impact Beyond the Field

Former Rams icon Andrew Whitworth praised Garrett’s work ethic, calling it 'infectious.' Whitworth noted that Garrett’s consistency and professionalism will set a standard for younger players. Last season, Garrett recorded 60 tackles, 23 sacks, and three forced fumbles, earning a PFN Edge Rusher Impact score of 95.1-the highest in the NFL.

What’s Next for Garrett?

With the Rams, Garrett will aim to lead a defensive resurgence. His presence could elevate Los Angeles’ pass rush to historic levels, especially if Donald returns. As training camp approaches, all eyes will be on Garrett to see how he adapts to his new team.
