The bar has been set impossibly high for Myles Garrett this season. How high? According to Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, the NFL’s richest defensive player needs to have his “the best season of his career” - a staggering challenge for someone who’s already won Defensive Player of the Year.

Schwartz said that after the Browns gave Garrett a big new contract, he's expecting Garrett to rise to the occasion and prove he's worth it.

Browns DE Myles Garrett will enter 2025 with great anticipation after signing a record-setting deal that will earn him $40 million per year. DC Jim Schwartz expects the perennial All-Pro to produce career-best numbers while shouldering lofty expectations.
