Myles Garrett, the Cleveland Browns’ superstar defensive end, is having one of the most dominant seasons in NFL history. At age 29, Garrett is relentlessly pursuing the single-season sack record of 22.5, currently held by Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J. Watt (2021). As of December 17, 2025, Garrett sits at 21.5 sacks through Week 15, needing just 1.5 more with three games remaining to etch his name atop the leaderboard.1
His performance has been nothing short of extraordinary. Standout games include a monstrous five-sack outburst against the New England Patriots in October and multiple multi-sack efforts throughout the year.2 Despite the Browns’ disappointing 3-11 record, Garrett has recorded at least one sack in eight consecutive games. His career total now approaches 124 sacks, making him one of the fastest players ever to reach such milestones before turning 30. NFL analysts universally praise his rare combination of explosive speed, raw power, and refined technique, cementing his reputation as the league’s most feared edge rusher.
Off-Field Spotlight: Relationship with Olympic Champion Chloe Kim

Beyond the gridiron, Myles Garrett has captured public attention with his relationship with two-time Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Chloe Kim. The couple first sparked dating rumors in May 2025 at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo.3 They went public in November with an adorable sideline moment before the Browns’ 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on November 23.4

In the viral video shared by the Browns, Kim wishes Garrett “good luck” and shares a sweet kiss—prompting her father, Jong Jin Kim, to hilariously bury his face in his hands in mock despair. The clip resurfaced in mid-December 2025, exploding across social media with millions of views and fans calling it peak “relatable dad energy.”5
The Browns’ social team playfully noted that Garrett has been “playing on a whole other level” since Kim’s influence, especially evident in his three-sack performance that day.
This power couple—two elite athletes from vastly different sports—embodies mutual support and low-key charm. The 25-year-old Kim has been a fixture at games and training camp, adding a heartwarming layer to Garrett’s intense on-field persona.
