02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Myles Garrett is an ideal fit for schemes prioritizing athletic edge rushers in a one-gap penetrating 4-3 front, showcasing exceptional power and speed.

Wide-9 DE4-3 RDEEdge Rusher
Best role

Year 1 starter as a primary pass rusher with All-Pro potential, excelling in disruption and quarterback pressure.

Wrong fit

A purely two-gap nose tackle role in a 3-4 defense would significantly diminish his impact due to its static nature.

Garrett's elite athleticism and power make him a versatile defensive end who can dominate in multiple roles, but he thrives as an attacking edge.

04The evaluation

Selected #1 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns out of Texas A&M.
