Browns' Myles Garrett says it would be 'special' to break sack record against Aaron Rodgers

Cleveland Browns legend Joe Thomas called his former teammate Myles Garrett the "best defensive pass rusher I've ever seen," in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett is on the verge of NFL history, as he is just a half-sack away from tying the single-season record set by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt.

Garrett, 29, said it would be "special" to break the record by sacking Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

"It’d be special. He’s legendary himself. And it’s a legendary record I’m out here chasing. So that’d be a great one to put a picture on the wall with," Garrett said at a press conference Friday.

Rodgers is quick to get the ball out, and Garrett said it’s important to take away his easy reads. 

"Gotta take away those easy access throws, make him look at his second read, and he’s gotta keep rushing. There’ll be (opportunities) if we continue to get stops during the game, and he can’t continue to lean on those quick passes, when you gotta score points," Garrett said. 

The Browns, who are 3-12, play the Steelers at home on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Steelers would clinch the AFC North and a playoff spot with a win over the Browns.
