While Myles Garrett waits to find out if he'll earn his first Defensive Player of the Year Award in a few weeks, he continues to compile other accolades to his trophy case.
The Browns star edge rusher was voted to the Pro Football Writers All-NFL team for 2023, marking the fourth consecutive year he's been voted to the team.
Garrett produced another season of pure dominance this fall, racking up 14 sacks, 30 quarterback hits and 17 tackles for loss. He added 37 total pressures as well, and according to PFF's posted the highest pass rush win rate (27-percent) of anyone in the NFL.
While his 14 sacks were only good enough to finish seventh overall, at one point, Garrett led the league in that category with 13, before finishing the season with just one in his final six games of the regular season. Whether or not he was bringing down the quarterback doesn't tell the entire story of Garrett's season though. The 2017 first overall pick thrived in the first year of Jim Schwartz defense, with arguably the deepest defensive line group he's played with in his career.
Joining Garrett in receiving recognition by the PFWA was Joel Bitonio, who didn't earn All-NFL recognition, but was voted to the All-AFC team. Bitonio had previously made the All-NFL list in three straight years like Garrett.
Bitonio battled a handful of injuries this season, including having his knee scoped and missing a game, but still managed to play 15 games this season. The only other game he missed was a meaningless Week 18 matchup where head coach Kevin Stefanski opted for resting most of the team's key players.
Since 1966, members of the PFWA have voted on the All-NFL team, The organization has done the same for the All-AFC and All-NFC teams since 1992.
