Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett became the single-season all-time sack leader during the 2025 season. Now, he has his sights set on the NFL’s all-time sack record.
During a recent interview with the Casino Guru News, Garrett said, “I’m going to take that down, and prefer that I take it down here in the next five years,” Garrett said. “That is definitely on my mind to go out there and get. That’s a goal I’ve had for years now, since college.”

Garrett has been a consistent force on the edge for the Browns, while earning at least 10 sacks in eight straight seasons, and totaling 125.5 sacks for his career.
Former NFL great Bruce Smith holds the NFL record with 200 sacks, leaving Garrett needing 75 to break the record. Currently, Garrett is tied for 20th on the list with Dwight Freeney.
Sacks did not become a recognizable individual stat until 1982. If Garrett can average 15 sacks a season over the next five years, he would have the opportunity to own the record in his timeframe, which is the goal he has set for himself.
Another impressive stat for Garrett is that he is third among active players in sacks, behind Von Miller and Cam Jordan, who both had a six-year head start on him.
