Defensive end Myles Garrett has reported to Berea, OH, along with his teammates for the start of Cleveland Browns training camp. The Browns star arrives after a dramatic offseason—one that resulted in a 4-year, $160 million contract, making him the second-highest-paid defensive player in the league. Along with a brand-new contract, Garrett is bringing high individual and team expectations for the upcoming season:
“I expect to get to the Super Bowl, that’s our expectation every year. I expect to win back Defensive Player of the Year,” said Garrett. “Whether we’re practicing or playing, when I step in the building, I need to be the best version of myself and the best leader I possibly can be.”
The Browns are currently projected to have a very slim chance of making the Super Bowl, especially in a heavy-hitting AFC North that features three extremely talented opposing quarterbacks. When it comes to the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett has as good a chance as any other defender.
The Browns and Garrett face a tough start to their Super Bowl run, with four 2024 playoff teams on the schedule in the first five weeks of the regular season. Between the drama of his contract and the possibility of a trade, one thing remains clear: Myles Garrett is ready to win.
