The NFL handed out its awards from the regular season at its NFL Honors show Thursday.
SAN FRANCISCO — It took Myles Garrett a little while to break through and win an NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.
Now he has two.
Garrett, who won DPOY two years ago, won the league’s top defensive prize again when the NFL’s season awards were announced at the league’s NFL Honors show on Thursday night. Garrett’s award was presented by Michael Strahan, who said Garrett won unanimously.
Garrett, the Cleveland Browns’ star defensive end, was an easy pick. He set an NFL record with 23 sacks this season. He has 125.5 sacks in his nine NFL season and just turned 30 years old, meaning he could enter the top-five all-time list in career sacks (Chris Doleman is fifth with 150.5) within the next two seasons.
The rest of the annual awards from the NFL Honors show will be updated as they’re announced on Thursday night.
