5 bold predictions for Cleveland Browns in 2020
1. Myles Garrett will get 15 sacks
Garrett is going to return to the field as an angry man in 2020. That’s very bad news for offenses that have to block the elite edge rusher.
The details of the incident leading up to his suspension are irrelevant when it comes to his future production. His anger will either be fueled by embarrassment, resentment or both. Count on him to channel that rage into productive football.
There’s never been any questions about his talent. Don’t forget that he already had 10 sacks in just 10 games before his 2019 campaign came to an end. He’s going to better that pace when he plays in 2020 with something to prove.
There’s a strong chance he’ll deserve to be named as the NFL’s defensive player of the year as a result of his production. That won’t happen due to the potential poor optics of giving him the award. As such, this prediction will just apply to his production.
Look for Garrett to notch at least 15 sacks. The idea of him breaking the 20-sack mark isn’t entirely out of the question.
