When it comes to the biggest can’t-miss prospect in this year’s draft, there’s no question that it’s the dominant edge rusher out of Texas A&M, Myles Garrett.

Just looking at Garrett you realize how dominant he can be at the next level. The Aggies edge rusher comes in at a massive 6’5” and 270 pounds, using every inch and pound of that frame to manhandle opposing offensive linemen.

Not only is Garrett incredibly strong, but he’s also faster than his frame would indicate. He uses that deadly combination to push linemen back or bend the edge to get to the quarterback, causing mayhem along the way.

The scariest part about Garrett is that he’s still developing his technique. Once he becomes a more polished pass rusher, Garrett has the potential to be one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL.
