It was rumored prior to the draft that the Cleveland Browns were looking to go a different direction from Texas A&M defensive Myles Garrett. However, the Browns stayed true to their board and Garrett became the first selection of the 2017 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Randy Moss was on hand in Arlington, Texas to gauge Garrett’s reaction as the Aggies’ first ever number one overall selection.

“I feel great” he told Moss. “This is just me achieving one of my goals. It’s great having my friends and family surrounding me and cheering for me.”

Moss asked Garrett if he had any messages for Cleveland fans as the franchise has won only about 30% of its games since it was resurrected as an expansion franchise in 1999.

“Big things are coming” said Garrett. “I didn’t just come up (to visit Cleveland). My whole family came up and I have all of them behind me. I can’t let them them down and I won’t let them down. Y’all are going to be my family too soon.”

Garrett will face three Pro Bowl caliber quarterbacks in the NFC North in Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton, and Baltimore’s Joe Flacco. Moss asked Garrett which one he wanted to face first.

“Big Ben” said Garrett. “He’s a Super Bowl winner and I always heard he’s hard to take down”.

Garrett had over 30 sacks during his A&M career and earned both All-SEC and All-American honors. He was the consensus number one prospect in the draft.
