Two years of outstanding play put Garrett at No. 2 in the PFF College 101 heading into the season and he hasn’t disappointed through four games. He boasts the nation’s top pass-rushing grade at 89.8, this after posting a 92.8 mark in 2014 and 89.7 in 2015. Even with the added attention from opposing offenses, he’s pressured the quarterback at a higher rate than his career average (pressured quarterback on 18.3 percent of rushes compared to 17.3 percent for his career).
quote:
Last season, quarterbacks in college football saw their passer rating (NFL version) drop from 95.0 in a clean pocket to 59.4 while under pressure. That’s the equivalent to taking an All-American candidate and relegating him to third-string. Garrett creates pressure as well as any every-down edge rusher in the country, particularly when factoring the speed in which he gets to the quarterback. This season, opposing quarterbacks have only completed 36.4 percent of their passes on plays in which Garrett has created pressure – that’s impacting the game without putting a sack on the stat sheet.
quote:
As good as Texas A&M’s defense has been at creating pressure from all angles, Garrett is still the nation’s most dominant force when given one-on-one matchups. Take his Week 1 battle against UCLA LT Conor McDermott, a potential NFL prospect in his own right. Garrett won a ridiculous 12 of their 24 head-to-head battles officially finishing with a sack, three QB hits, and six hurries on those plays including two other wins that didn’t go down as pressure because the ball was out so quickly from QB Josh Rosen. It’s that ability to take over a game that makes Garrett special and a Heisman contender on his pass rushing alone.
quote:
At PFF, we factor in all aspects of the game, and while we acknowledge that Garrett’s pass rushing is by far the most important part of his Heisman campaign, playing at least adequate run defense is a prerequisite for starting the hype train. To this point, the run-game improvement has been noticeable and Garrett has turned into a playmaker in that part of his game as well.
Myles Garrett case for the heisman

Hope he's resting by half at SC

Too bad Arden Key is dominating in number of sacks.

We don't need to be pushing his rep. He is respected and doesn't need this.

Garrett is so 2015. We've all moved on.

In 9 career games against ranked opponents, Barnett has 14.5 TFL and 8 sacks.
In 8 career games against ranked opponents, Garrett has 8.5 TFL and 4 sacks.

Upvoted for not saying a "dominate" year.

He will go top 3 in the draft and be making pro bowls and people on this board will still be claiming he sucks

He's an incredible player. Give me Barnett though.

As good as he is, it seems highly unlikely we'll see another defensive player win the Heisman.
I still think Derrick Thomas not even getting an invite is the greatest Heisman snub of all time. Imagine what the three invited should have been:
Sanders
Aikman
Thomas
