Aggies in the NFL: Garrett continues to impress despite Browns' struggles

Myles Garrett is making a case for himself as the NFL's top pass rusher

COLLEGE STATION - Expectations are always high for players draft first overall. It may have taken time, but former Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett continues to impress as a pass rusher. 

The third-year defender once again shined on the primetime television. Against the San Francisco 49ers, Garrett collected two tackles, a sack and a broken pass during the Cleveland Browns 31-3 loss. He also consistently pressured Jimmy Garoppolo off the edge, forcing him to consistently move outside the pocket. 

Third-down SACK!

As one of the league's top pass rushers this season, Garrett's path could lead him to potentially become the league's defensive MVP. For the season, the former Aggie has 14 total tackles, seven sacks and one forced fumbled. Garrett currently trails Tampa Bay's Shaquil Barrett by two sacks.
