It's not hard to notice the impact Myles Garrett has on a weekly basis for the Cleveland Browns. 

In year nine of his career, Garrett has already put together a Hall of Fame resume. It includes an AP Defensive Player of the Year Award from 2023. 107.5 sacks, which ranks 33rd all-time. A Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, six Pro Bowl appearances and Four All-Pro honors. And for nearly a decade, he's been the star of dozens of NFL coaches' nightmares.

In some respects Garrett is so good, his dominance has become sort of normal. The same way the NBA grows tired of voting legends like LeBron James and Steph Curry the MVP every year, Garrett's dominance has become very normal in the NFL world. 

Every so often though, Garrett closes in on a milestone or accolade that reminds everyone just how special he is. 

That's the case this weekend as the Browns hit the road to face the New England Patriots. If Garrett records one sack on Sunday, he'll pass Hall of Famer Reggie White for the most sacks by a player under the age of 30. That's some elite company. 

"I better hurry up then," Garrett said of attempting to accomplish that feat. Garrett has about 2 months to get the sack he needs. He turns 30 in late December. "I got a little time," he added.

Garrett is no stranger to being compared to some of the legends of the game at his position. Last year, for example, he joined the likes of White, John Randle, Lawrence Taylor, Bruce Smith, DeMarcus Ware and Jared Allen as the only players with seven straight seasons with 10+ sacks.

His legacy is important to him, rightfully so. At this stage of his career though, the individual recognition is secondary to winning. So while he understands the magnitude of surpassing White for this particular milestone, his focus is on bigger picture things. 

"I mean it's an honor, but it's something I don't think about right now. I'm just focused on us winning. To be ranked and compared to some of the greats you have to win, and right now that's my sole focus, our sole focus as a team. Let the people talk if they may, but I'm just trying to have fun and keep on progressing forward."

Winning was at the root of Garrett requesting a trade earlier this offseason. After about a month long standoff with the team, he reversed course and signed a record-setting contract that pays him $40 million a year instead. 

It theoretically guarantees that the former No. 1 overall pick will begin and end his hall of fame career here in Cleveland. 

That means the show he's already put on for Browns fans is far from over. Sunday may produce it's next chapter. It will be even more meaningful for Garrett if it comes with a win.
