BEREA, Ohio -- Browns defenders who've been around these parts for a while can't wait for the team to unleash the beast in No. 1 pick Myles Garrett.

"Myles has an unlimited amount of potential,'' said Desmond Bryant, who was the Browns' leading sacker in 2015 before a torn pectoral muscle last summer cost him the 2016 season. "He's a very, very talented player.

"You see it from day one out here. I mean, the sky's honestly the limit for him. I really see great things for him in the future. He's just got to stay healthy and continue to learn about the profession.''

Bryant, who's expecting big things from himself in his ninth season, has already identified Garrett's signature move.

"He has a very good awareness of rushing,'' said Bryant, who led the Browns with six sacks in 2015 and was second with five in 2014. "His innate abilities, there's one move in particular, he can dip his shoulder and turn the corner like nobody I've seen in a long time, so that's just one thing.

"Myles is a physical, aggressive guy and he's definitely out there competing. Some might think, you know first round, first overall he might be out there slacking but he's out there to work and get better."

Bryant, 31, is eager to mentor his younger teammate.

"Absolutely,'' he said. "When and where I can, I like to throw him a little bit of advice here and there. But again, he's already a very, very gifted player, so you don't want to mess with that too much. Kind of let him go out there and play and learn from his mistakes."

Bryant, who's been working inside, already has visions of being on the field with Garrett, Emmanuel Ogbah and other gifted edge-rushers.

"We have a tremendous amount of rush potential and once we get all of those pieces working together, it'll be a very fluid situation," he said. "Not just the guys you mentioned, but the guys behind us going in there too and everybody going in there and eating, kind of like they do up in Seattle."

Linebacker Jamie Collins, who played with premier defenders in New England, is excited to share the field with Garrett.

"He's a beast, man,'' he said. "I'm ready to get started with him. Gregg (Williams) has everybody's ears pinned back and everybody's just eager."

Linebacker Chris Kirksey also can't wait to see what Garrett will bring. Currently, Garrett is still working with the second-team defense, primarily against second-team offensive linemen. He's proven he can blow past fifth-round pick Rod Johnson, but has yet to go against the likes of 10-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas.

"Yeah, the way he gets off the ball, it's crazy,'' said Kirksey. "He has a fast first step, so I'm excited to see what he's going to do for us. But every time we line up in the team period, he's extremely explosive. So everything I've seen of him, it's definitely something that's good."

Garrett ended Brock Osweiler's two-minute drill on Monday with a sack, and lobbied for two other "touch-sacks'' in the previous four snaps, but Hue Jackson good-naturedly waved him off.

"Yeah, I agree (he had three),'' said Kirksey. "He had a lot of great plays for us that last period, and he's a special player."

Garrett is learning all he can from the veterans, asking questions on the sidelines and spending extra time with them on and off the field.

"He has a lot of guys within his room that talk specifically about being a D-lineman," said Kirksey. "I have conversations with Myles on a personal level, just get to know him as a person and he's definitely all ears. He doesn't have that first-round arrogance, you know, 'I have arrived.' He's steady trying to get better and eager to learn."

Like everyone else, Kirksey has discovered Garrett is not your average rookie.

"He's an old soul,'' said Kirksey. "From listening to the type of music he's listening to, he's got a lot of old-school vibes to him. ... He's a cool dude. You have your little jokes here and there. He stood up in the team meeting room. He had a little sing-along and everybody was singing. He has a good character. He's a great guy."

Has Kirksey ever had another teammate who listened to Dean Martin?

"No,'' said Kirksey.

Are you listening to the crooner now yourself?

"No,'' Kirksey said with a laugh.

But if Garrett lives up to his sky-high potential, the veterans will let him play whatever music he wants in the locker room.
