CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – Browns defensive end Myles Garrett added to his trophy case and the Browns also took home hardware Tuesday night.
Garrett took home the Pro Athlete of the Year Award and the Browns playoff season was named the Moment of the Year at the 24th Greater Cleveland Sports Awards held at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Garrett beat out Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor and Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell.
Browns executive vice president of football operations and general manager Andrew Berry accepted the award on Garrett’s behalf from new Guardians manager Stephen Vogt.
“Everybody knows how dominant of a player he is on the field and how important he is to our success defensively and really just as a team,” Berry said. “But the other aspect is just his leadership and he’s really one of our tone setters for our culture, and so we couldn’t be more proud of accepting this award on his behalf.”
Garrett led the Browns defense to a No. 1 overall ranking for the first time since 1955 this past season with 14.0 sacks, 30 QB hits, 17 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles.
