Myles Garrett, entering his 10th NFL season, targets Bruce Smith's all-time sack record of 200. Currently holding 125.5 career sacks, Garrett sits third among active players. He expressed a desire to not only break the record but to 'shatter' it, emphasizing he has no intention of limiting his playing years. Garrett averaged 15.9 sacks per 17-game season, suggesting that if he maintains or improves this pace, achieving the record could be feasible within five years. His recent move to the Rams may enhance his opportunities to increase his sack totals as they could lead to more passing situations for opponents.
