Myles Garrett has the skills to be an elite NFL pass-rusher

Since stepping onto the Texas A&M campus as a true freshman in 2014, Myles Garrett appeared destined to be a future top-five pick in the NFL draft. This is no underdog story, as Garrett was a 5-star recruit — rated behind only LSU running back Leonard Fournette in 247 Sports’ composite recruiting rankings — and he lived up to the hype immediately, with five hits on the quarterback and three hurries in his very first game against South Carolina. Garrett finished 2014 with the best pass-rush grade we’ve seen by a true freshman in three years of grading, and it’s really not even close.
