CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett will have to wait until next week to learn if he’ll repeat as the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year, but according to the Sporting News, he’s already a repeat winner of the award.

Before the official AP awards are announced on Feb. 6, the Browns revealed major news regarding Garrett. The star defensive lineman has been named The Sporting News Defensive Player of the Year. "Clear room on that trophy shelf, Myles!" posted the Browns.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry spoke on Tuesday about the organization's plan to keep Garrett with the franchise until he retires. He's already been with the team since he was drafted in 2017. Garrett won't become a free agent until 2027, but the team is open to exploring an extension with the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
