Myles Garrett
Myles Lorenz Garrett was born on December 29, 1995, in Arlington, Texas, where he grew up as a multi-sport athlete with an intellectual curiosity that would set him apart from the typical NFL player. A standout in football, basketball, and track at Martin High School, Garrett was also an accomplished student who would go on to graduate from Texas A&M University with a degree in business and a minor in psychology — an academic achievement often overlooked amid his athletic accomplishments. At Texas A&M, Garrett was immediately dominant. As a true freshman, he recorded 11.5 sacks and established himself as the top prospect for a future NFL Draft. Over three college seasons, he accumulated 31 sacks and consistently graded as one of the most physically gifted defensive players ever evaluated by NFL scouts. His combination of size at 6-foot-4 and 272 pounds, speed with a verified 4.64-second 40-yard dash, and explosive first step made him the consensus first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns selected Garrett with the first pick, placing the franchise's defensive future on his broad shoulders. After missing time with injuries during his rookie season, Garrett quickly established himself as one of the premier pass rushers in the NFL. His 2023 season was his finest — he recorded 14 sacks and was awarded the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, recognizing what those who watched him closely had long known: Garrett was the most physically gifted defensive player in football. Garrett's physical profile is genuinely extraordinary. He possesses the speed of a much smaller player trapped in the body of a massive defensive end, creating a combination of attributes that offensive tackles simply cannot match. His first step off the snap is explosive, his ability to bend around the edge at full speed generates leverage that linemen cannot counter, and his power at the point of attack is devastating. When he combines these tools with his increasingly refined hand-fighting technique, the result is a pass rusher who can win in multiple ways on every snap. Beyond his pass-rushing ability, Garrett is an excellent run defender whose size, strength, and effort allow him to set the edge and make plays from sideline to sideline. His motor — which runs consistently hot throughout games — ensures that he is never taking plays off, and his pursuit of the football from the backside of plays produces tackles and pressures that don't always show up in the traditional statistics. Garrett's career was temporarily overshadowed by a 2019 incident in which he struck Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with a helmet during an on-field altercation, resulting in an indefinite suspension. The incident was a stark departure from Garrett's typically composed demeanor, and his handling of the aftermath — accepting responsibility, serving his suspension, and returning with a renewed focus on his play — demonstrated maturity that earned back the respect of the football community. Off the field, Garrett is one of the most fascinating personalities in the NFL. He is an avid reader, a dinosaur enthusiast who has spoken about his desire to become a paleontologist after football, a collector of vintage cars, and a creative thinker whose interests extend far beyond the gridiron. He has written poetry, expressed interest in becoming an author, and regularly discusses topics ranging from science to philosophy in media appearances. Garrett's charitable work in the Cleveland community has focused on literacy programs, STEM education, and youth development, reflecting his own intellectual interests and his desire to use his platform for meaningful impact. His combination of physical dominance, intellectual curiosity, and community engagement makes him one of the most unique and compelling figures in professional sports. Myles Garrett continues to be one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, and his combination of physical gifts and refined technique suggests that his prime years still have historic performances to deliver.
