In a season that included exceptional performances from some of the NFL’s most fearsome defensive players, Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns won the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Garrett won the prized honor by a small margin against Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt, who received 19 first-place votes to Garrett’s 23. Garrett took advantage of the award and paid tribute to his hometown, mimicking LeBron James’ memorable comments after the Cavaliers won the NBA Championship. “To the city of Cleveland, this one’s for you!“ Garrett yelled, thanking his supporters and the community who backed him throughout his career.

Looking at this even the Akron Hammer took to his Instagram to give a shoutout to Garret for his achievement. He put up a story with Garrett holding the Defensive Player of the Year award and captioned the photo writing, “Congratulations brother.”

For Garrett, winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award is far more than just a personal accomplishment. It is an additional step toward creating a Hall of Fame-worthy career as his dedication to the Browns and the people of Cleveland goes beyond the football field. Because just like James, he recognizes the importance of bringing a championship to his city and has embraced it with open arms.
