Los Angles Rams pass-rusher Myles Garrett earned the No. 1 spot on the NFL's Top 100 list, the league announced Thursday.
The list is voted on by the players themselves. Garrett is the third defensive player to finish No. 1 since the list's inception in 2011, joining J.J. Watt in 2015 and Aaron Donald in 2019.
