The competition in F1 races is very fierce. Being a racer is a lot harder than it looks. It involves meticulous expertise and care by drivers and their teams. Making errors isn't ideal as it could result in dire consequences. 

The Cleveland Browns have been on a roller coaster ride since Myles Garrett arrived, and when times were good, the signs all pointed to Garrett.

Garrett was a consensus All-American at Texas A&M, and the Browns made him the number one pick in 2017.  The Defensive End did not have a great rookie year, but showed what he was capable of as a sophomore, earning Pro Bowl accolades in 2018, which he followed up with a second and third in 2020 and 2021, with those last two years seeing First Team All-Pro honors.  Garrett established himself as one of the top pass-rushers in football, and he was only getting started.

Garrett finished fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2022 and won the elite award in 2024, where he led the NFL in Approximate Value (20).  Last season, Garrett secured his fourth First Team All-Pro, led the NFL in Tackles for Loss (22), and was third in DPOY voting.  The Browns were awful that year, and Garrett looked for greener pastures.  It looked like the Garrett-Cleveland marriage was over, but the Browns were able to sign Garrett to a long-term contract in the 2025 off-season.

The 2025 season sees Garrett entering a five-year Pro Bowl and seven-year double-digit Sack streak, and should substantially add to his 102.5 Sacks and 116 Tackles for Loss.

Taylor Lewan was the third Offensive Linemen taken in the 2014 Draft (11^th Overall), and he arguably has been more successful than the two (Greg Robinson and Jake Matthews) selected ahead of him.

Lewan would win the starting job at Left Tackle during his debut season, finishing as an All-Rookie, and he progressively got better, rattling off three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2016 to 2018.  Lewan’ holds a spot as one of the better Offensve Lineman in franchise history, even if his overall profile is not regarded out of Tennessee.

Kevin Byard is one of the most prolific defensive stars from Middle Tennessee State where the All-Conference USA star was a Third Round Pick in the 2016 Draft.

In his rookie season, Byard would win a starting job at Safety, but if there was an award for Sophomore of the Year, Byard could have staked a claim for it.  Byard was a co-leader in Interceptions (6) while going to the Pro Bowl and securing First Team honors that year, and although he did not come close to to that production from 2018 to 2020 in traditional and advanced metrics, he was still a solid starter in the NFL.  

Byard returned to Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro form in 2021, which coincided with his move from Free Safety to Strong Safety.  He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles at the 2023 trade deadline, and the Defensive Back left Tennessee with 27 Interceptions.
