Number One Pick

Myles Garrett is sure he was worth the number one pick in the 2017 NFL draft. He fully intends to make sure the Cleveland Browns coaches, front office and fans are confident of this as well. Garrett holds himself to high expectations and demands excellence. He believes the 2018 season will be a breakout season for himself as well as the team.

Garrett knows he can continually improve and holds himself to those standards. “Ten times better (than 2017), 15 times better.” This was the sentiment from Garrett when asked about how much he can improve. He drives himself to excellence and wants all others around him to to do the same.

Garrett has struggled with his health in college and also at the beginning of his rookie season. In order for Garrett to have the breakout season, he envisions he must be on the field. This can only be done if Garrett is in top physical condition. He set the goal for himself after his rookie season to be healthy and able to fully contribute to the team. “The best quality is available,” Garrett said during minicamp. “I have to be present.”

Garrett was injured during practice before the season began. This took the dynamic rookie off the field for five games and limited his contributions to the team. The time required to get back into playing shape limited his presence and impact. Withstanding, the injuries Garrett still dominated with 7 sacks in 11 starts for the Browns.
