During a recent live show, Rich Eisen asked Myles Garrett about his aspirations of greatness in the NFL and who he sees as his peers. Garrett replied, “You can name more than a few…Seattle has one [Boye] Mafe, you got [Panthers LB] Brian Burns, who I believe needs more love”. And the under-recognized Bradley Chubb of the Dolphins.
Myles stated: “[Dolphins LB, Bradley] Chubb, who got paid but doesn’t get the respect that you should.” The 4× Pro Bowler also acknowledged the likes of “T. J. [Edwards], Nick [Bolton]. You have the Micah [Parsons], you know, [Matthew] Judon, Shaquil Barrett, Von [Miller] is still getting healthy”. 27 YO Defensive End exclaimed, “There’s a lot of guys who, on any given day, can give you big numbers across the stat sheet.”
2× First-team All-Pro (2020, 2021) Garrett also emphasized that ranking oneself could limit potential, aiming to break free from any predefined expectations.

Recent reports also highlight that Garrett voiced his frustration with the MVP selection process of the NFL. He expressed that it unfairly and predominantly favors quarterbacks. The DE believes the last non-QB to truly deserve the MVP was J.J. Watt in 2012. Garrett argues that the award should recognize the player who’s most respected, feared, and consistently makes game-changing plays, regardless of their position.
“The one who’s most respected, most feared, and makes the most game-changing plays, shouldn’t just go to a quarterback or wide receiver.” Garrett commented on ‘The Rich Eisen Show,’ “It should go to the guy who’s been game-planned all week, who has to be respected, who you’re avoiding and when that time comes, he makes that play.”
