The entire landscape of the NFC West changed this offseason when the Los Angeles Rams traded for superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett. Now, the defending division title and Super Bowl 60 champion Seattle Seahawks must divise a plan to slow him down. Garrett is expected to cause chaos throughout the NFC West.
ESPN has been slowly unveiling their top 10 players in the league at every position. The lists are created by polling coaches, executives, and scouts around the NFL. Unsurprisingly, Garrett was voted as the No. 1 pass rusher in the league.
"It's a clean sweep for Garrett, who was No. 1 on every ballot," Jeremy Fowler wrote. "That's rare for this exercise, which usually features at least one detractor. But Garrett is undeniable after a season for the ages that included an NFL-record 23 sacks -- and perhaps an even more impressive 33 tackles for loss. Garrett had a stronghold on the voting last year too, well before his banner season. Garrett won on more than 20% of his 448 pass-rushing attempts despite facing a double-team nearly 30% of the time. What makes him great is what he has to overcome."
Garrett is the best pass rusher in the NFL after setting the single-season sack record in 2025. Seahawks offensive tackles Charles Cross and Abe Lucas will be tested this season. Garrett could make the Rams Super Bowl favorites in 2026.
