In a thrilling achievement, Myles Garrett has etched his name into NFL history by becoming the youngest player ever to reach 100 career sacks. Just shy of his 29th birthday, Garrett's historic milestone has captured the attention of fans and analysts alike.

Garrett had faced a challenging time leading up to his 100th sack, managing just one sack in the previous three games as he hovered at 99.5 sacks. However, that all changed dramatically in the latest game against the Cincinnati Bengals, where he recorded a critical sack of quarterback Joe Burrow right before halftime, propelling him to the iconic century mark.

"It makes my dad [Lawrence] proud," Garrett reflected, sharing a heartfelt moment post-game. "That was for daddy, so that’s what it means to me. It doesn’t mean much in a loss, but I get to see him smile and get that accomplishment. He’s been telling me to do it for the last three weeks, so happy to get that one for him."

By reaching this remarkable milestone in just 115 games, Garrett finds himself in elite company, tying legends Bruce Smith and Lawrence Taylor as the fourth-fastest players to achieve 100 sacks in NFL history. He also joins an exclusive group of formidable pass rushers, including Reggie White, DeMarcus Ware, Jared Allen, and T.J. Watt, all of whom have registered at least 100 sacks within their first eight seasons.

Moreover, Garrett’s consistency is evident in his performance, as he and Lawrence Taylor stand out as the only players in NFL history to achieve at least 12 sacks for five consecutive seasons, highlighting his incredible skill and relentless drive on the field.

"I didn’t know about all that," Garrett admitted. "That’s great company to be with. Definitely one of the guys I looked up to, as an athlete, as a football player coming up along my way, and still watch clips of his tenacity against the edge."

As fans celebrate Myles Garrett's historic achievement, questions remain about what lies ahead for this young defensive powerhouse. Will he continue to break records and redefine what it means to be an elite edge rusher in the NFL? With a career still in its early stages, the sky's the limit for Garrett, and fans are eager to see how far he can go. Stay tuned as the season unfolds!
