Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett stirred the pot a bit with remarks about Pittsburgh Steelers edge-rusher T.J. Watt and the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award.
Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive stars hyped up the AFC North battle that’s set to take place on Thursday night. Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was named the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year as he secured 14 sacks and 42 total tackles in 16 games on his way to a fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection. He received 23 first-place votes and narrowly won over Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt.
Watt led the NFL in sacks with 19 and had 48 total tackles in 17 games. He appeared to be upset with the alleged snub and expressed his feelings in a social media post, saying 'nothing I’m not used to.' Garrett told reporters Tuesday he thought Watt should apologize after he didn’t reach out to congratulate the Browns star. 'No, he didn't say nothing to me. He's got to apologize to me when I see him,' he said.
Garrett has seven sacks and 23 tackles in 10 games. Watt has 7.5 sacks and 36 tackles. He also leads the NFL in forced fumbles with four. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
