Myles Garrett just caught a stray that Rams fans will find hilarious

At this point in his career, Myles Garrett has pretty much seen and done it all, outside of winning a Super Bowl. The new Los Angeles Rams edge defender has all of the accolades a pass rusher could dream of.

A two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett is up there with the elite of the elite. But if you ask a fellow Pro Bowler, Garrett might not have truly earned that title.

Appearing on the "Games With Names" podcast alongside former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, New Orleans Saints defensive end and eight-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan started a conversation with the idea that sacks are overrated.

From there, it snowballed:

"I think a sack is an overrated stat ... winning the game is the most important. ... We look at it like, 'Oh, he's the best because he had 19 or 20 or 22 sacks,' but he's not worth a damn in the run. But we don't talk about it. 'He's the DPOY!' But he's a liability on the outside zone stretch plays. 'He's the best!' But he swims B gaps and C gaps."

Jordan didn't do his homework if he was calling out Myles Garrett

For a guy who was about as inconsistent as it gets in the sack department last year, these words aren't a surprise. Jordan only notched 2.5 sacks through the first nine weeks of the season, but ended the 2025 campaign with 10.5.

It isn't any wonder why Pro Football Focus only gave him a pass-rush grade of 59.5 last year while Garrett finished at 93.3, first among all edge rushers, to no one's surprise.

Oh, since we're talking about PFF grades and all, how about we check in on those run defense grades, too?

Take PFF for whatever you'd like, but Jordan's run-defense grade in 2025 ranked 4th among all edge rushers at 82.1. Garrett finished 3rd at 82.5.

This isn't some anomaly, either. Garrett has finished with a top-10 PFF grade against the run for three years in a row now.

So, who exactly was Jordan talking about here, and why? There must have been a reason he went out and specifically referenced a "DPOY" in those comments.

Garrett has won two out of the last three awards, and the one in between wasn't even an edge rusher. It was Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II.

Rams fans have yet to see Garrett suit up for L.A., but he is one of theirs now. Sure, he earned those trophies in Cleveland. But in 2026, he's a Ram.

And certainly, Rams fans won't take too kindly to this type of talk.

In the end, it is just talk. But if Jordan is going to call out the best in the game, even subtly, he should at least present a better-supported argument in doing so.
