Jan 5, 2026, 11:00 AM CUT

Myles Garrett has done it! He is the sack king. With about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter against the Bengals, he broke past OL Orlando Brown Jr., and in front of him lay his ultimate prize in flesh and bones: Joe Burrow.

He wrapped his arms around the Bengals QB and brought him down. With the he became the player with the most sacks in a season, and the congratulations from celebrity athletes have been rolling in. Check it out-

Patrick Mahomes II

One of the best QBs to have shared the field with Garrett could not stop himself from congratulating him. He wrote on X,"Congrats! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
@Flash_Garrett" Garret replied with, "Thank you brotha ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ"

Both Garrett and Mahomes joined the NFL in 2017, and since then, the Browns and Chiefs have come face-to-face only four times. And while the Chiefs have won them all, Garrett has sacked him twice.

Micah Parsons

Who would know what the sack record means for a DE better than a DE? Parsons also took to X and wrote, "Congratulation to the Og MYLES GARRETT! #legendary!@Flash_Garrett".

Garrett replied, "Preciate you young ๐Ÿฆ we back to work in the offs ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿพ." The two of them are good friends who often communicate, train, and support each other. Parons even sent a text message to Myles Garrett while the latter chases the sack record.

Parsons said that he told him, โ€˜If you donโ€™t break the (sack) record, you suck. You canโ€™t get this close to the finish line and not finish it." He even said he rooted for him.

LeBron James

King LeBron was also impressed with Myles Garrett breaking the sacks record. He posted on X, "CONGRATULATIONS MY GOOD BROTHER!!!!!!!
@Flash_Garrett๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ" Thr Browns DE replied, "Much love LJ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ" The two of them are good friends.

Theyโ€™ve worked out together publicly and hung out off the field, showing mutual admiration. Plus, James has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 and from 2014 to 2018. And also, LeBron has said he roots for the Browns, especially because theyโ€™re his hometown NFL team (heโ€™s from Akron, Ohio, near Cleveland).

Michael Strahan

Garrett broke Strahan's record of 22.5 sacks in a season to become the man with the most sacks in a season, and the former could not help but take a fun hit at the new record holder.

"I mean, I hold the record for 16-game season, they hold the record for 17-game season. That's the way it works out. You can't compare records from 12 game season to 16 and 17 game season. It doesn't work. But I look at it like this."

Though he also said that he was impressed by Myles Garrett and that he knows that he (Garrett) has so many more sacks left in him. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
