Myles Garrett Broke the Sack Record and Nobody in the League Is Ready For His Rams Encore

Myles Garrett shattered the NFL single-season sack record last season, racking up an unbelievable 23 sacks. Now, after a blockbuster trade to the Rams this offseason, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year is gearing up for his next act, and DraftKings Sportsbook has already dropped the odds for who’s gonna lead the league in sacks for 2026. Spoiler: Garrett’s right at the top, and it’s gonna be a wild ride.

The Favorite’s Historic Chase

So, Garrett clocks in as the favorite with +250 odds. Think about it: bet ten bucks, you’re looking at thirty-five total if he repeats. That’s a good return on a guy who just pulled off a historic 23-sack season in 2025 with the Browns. He wasn’t just good, he was *way* out in front, snagging 6.5 more sacks than the next guy, Brian Burns, who had 16.5. What’s wild is that Garrett’s only actually led the NFL in sacks *once*, and that was last year. But he’s been consistently dominant, hitting 14 sacks in both 2023 and 2024, and 16 sacks in 2021 and 2022. Now he’s on a team with the best Super Bowl odds, so you know the opportunity for prime pass-rushing is there. This move could be absolutely massive for his legacy, and for the Rams’ defense.

The Field Chasing History

While Garrett is the one to beat, plenty of other pass rushers are ready to make some noise. Aidan Hutchinson is sitting there at +500, a solid bet if you think Garrett cools off even a little. Then you’ve got a trio at +600: Danielle Hunter, Will Anderson Jr., and Trey Hendrickson. Hunter and Anderson Jr. are a seriously dangerous duo for the Texans. Last season, they combined for 27 sacks, with Hunter grabbing 15 and Anderson Jr. adding 12. Hunter was actually third in the entire NFL in sacks in 2025, just behind Garrett and Burns, while Anderson Jr. tied for eighth. Other big names like Nik Bonitto (+1400), Maxx Crosby (+1500), T.J. Watt (+1600), Brian Burns (+1800), Nick Bosa (+2000), and Micah Parsons (+2000) are also in the mix. This race is going to be fierce, no doubt.

The season is just around the corner, and all eyes are on these defensive titans. Will Garrett make history again and lead the league in sacks back-to-back, or will one of these other beasts snatch the crown? It’s gonna be epic to watch play out.
