Myles Garrett was nearly unstoppable last season.
His spectacular performance earned him several accolades and now he’s been voted the top defensive lineman in the league by The Associated Press.
A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five defensive linemen, basing selections on current status entering the 2024 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points.
Garrett received six first-place votes. T.J. Watt and Chris Jones each got one. Garrett and Micah Parsons were the only players selected on every ballot.
