Since being selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett have been at the center of debate. Both players quickly turned into some of the league's best edge rushers as they raced against each other at historic paces for sacks and personal accolades.
Unfortunately, this 'debate' has already reached its bitter conclusion.
Up until the end of the 2023 season, Watt and Garrett were in lockstep with each other. Over the star defenders' first seven NFL seasons, Watt led in sacks (108.0 to 90.5), tackles for a loss (120 to 115), passes defended (45 to 17), interceptions (7 to 0), forced fumbles (33 to 14), First-Team All-Pros (4 to 3), and Pro Bowls (6 to 5).
