Critical of Myles Garrett's production against quality competition during his career at Texas A&M, SEC Network and ESPN college football analyst Booger McFarland's presence as co-host on Monday's Mike and Mike radio show interfered with the projected No. 1 pick's scheduled appearance.

Garrett refused to chat with Mike Greenberg and McFarland due to previous comments he deemed negative about his play.

Sorry to the @MikeAndMike fans, Myles Garrett didn't wanna come on due to critical comments I've said in past about his play — Booger (@SECbooger) April 10, 2017

Here's what McFarland said about Garrett during the show, via The Big Lead:

“I haven’t always seen the athleticism turn into playmaking ability on the football field, nor have I seen the physicality. To me, that’s the one question I have. So, in a day and age where we’re all watching the Combine saying, ‘Hey there he is, he’s the number 1 pick, best player ever,’ I’m just a little hesitant. And I always take a step back — because I’ve seen the guy play football — he is a tremendous athlete. “But being an athlete doesn’t make you a football player. Ask Mike Mamula, who tore up the Combine but couldn’t break an egg in the NFL. I’m not saying Myles Garrett is gonna do that, but I just look at the tape — and the tape never lies, Greeny — and the tape has said that although he is a tremendous athlete, I just wonder how much does he love playing defensive line and being hit and the collisions that take place time after time. The tape says he’s been hesitant to do that over the last couple years.”

Garrett is at ESPN HQ in Bristol, Connecticut making the rounds on various shows, including SportsCenter.
