Cleveland Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett was absolutely dominant this year and it paid off with his first Defensive Player of the Year award. He was the best player on one of the league’s best defenses and found a way to impact every game in ways that didn’t always show up in the stat sheet.
When you look at the Indianapolis Colts game where he forced two fumbles, one of which was recovered for a touchdown, and blocked a field goal you see how dominant he was. The attention that Garrett garnered from opposing offenses helped his teammates make massive impacts as well with favorable matchups hoping to neutralize Garrett.
Browns fans have been defending their superstar all season saying that he was the most deserving player for the award. Here is a look at how fans reacted to another award going to a member of the Cleveland Browns winning a season award.
DPOY voters not box score watchers. Love to see it.

It would seem that TJ is upset. I wonder why? 🤔 Couldn't be the reason everybody thinks it is right!? Cause that's a really bad way to handle the news 🤷♂️ https://t.co/OdfEyxX49I

TJ Watt being upset makes perfect sense when you consider he's lost both a playoff game and now a DPOY award to Myles Garrett. pic.twitter.com/GxIb4e2c4h

Myles Garrett is the best defender in the league right now and it’s really not even close.
The amount of attention he garners every single play is unbelievable.

Steelers fans having meltdowns about TJ Watt not winning Defensive Player of the Year, while Micah Parsons is explaining why Myles Garrett definitely should’ve won, is hilarious.

btw Myles Garrett’s “sackless” week 17 game vs the Jets is a master class in why sacks alone can’t measure impact on a game.
he completely controlled that game

They haven’t even named DPOY yet, and Steelers fans are crying all over my TL, saying Myles Garrett sucks. pic.twitter.com/E2LOJxiep9

Congratulations to Arlington Martin’s own Myles Garrett on Defensive Player of the Year honor tonight. My Luke had the unenviable task of blocking him in practice at A&M. You’ll like this… pic.twitter.com/MY6BIYjqwb
