The Cleveland Browns have been blessed with star power, but the luminary making most of the headlines recently isn’t their premium quarterback. It’s their defense, anchored by none other than Myles Garrett, that’s been electrifying the NFL. Just glance at their track record: a meager one offensive touchdown permitted in three outings, leading the charts in scoring defense and overall defense. Now that’s dominance.
On Kay Adams’ “Up & Adam” show, Rob Gronkowski offered a compelling take. “I’m going with Myles Garrett as defensive player of the year,” he said, recounting Garrett’s staggering three-and-a-half sacks in a recent game. Gronk was especially amazed by how offenses are trying to counter Garrett.
“Two tight ends trail him wherever he goes. That’s unheard of!” Gronkowski exclaimed. Highlighting Garrett’s exceptional athleticism, Gronk said, “I’m not going to go to the weak side; I’m going to rush so I can get another sack. He’s leading one of the best defenses in the league, making me think the Browns are true contenders.”

Although he’s been restricted during training, Coach Stefanski remains hopeful, noting Watson did some “light” throwing recently.
