Browns' Myles Garrett on ticket: 'Ask a different question' - ESPN

BEREA, Ohio — Myles Garrett was expected to become a more vocal leader for the Cleveland Browns after signing a four-year contract extension worth $204.8 million in March.

However, Garrett was quiet in his first comments since picking up his eighth speeding ticket since being drafted by the Browns in 2017.

«I'd honestly rather talk about football and this team than anything I'm doing off field other than the back to school event that I did the other day,» Garrett said Wednesday.

Garrett was asked a couple of other times about being cited for driving a Ferrari 100 mph on a suburban Cleveland interstate on Aug. 9. It got contentious when the All-Pro defensive end was asked what kind of leadership it showed to be pulled over for speeding shortly after the Browns came back from a road game.

«I've answered it two different times. I'm going to need you to ask a different question so I can focus on this team and not, you know, this headline you're trying to get out of these questions you're asking,» Garrett said.

In 2022, Garrett flipped his Porsche when he veered off a rural road near his home following practice. He suffered a sprained shoulder, strained biceps, cuts and bruises in the wreck and was cited for failure to control his vehicle and unsafe speed. He missed one game because of the accident.

When it comes to on-field matters, Garrett said he has noticed he has more leeway and a platform to lead during this training camp. That has included conversations with the coaching staff about the flow of the day's practices and what is being accomplished.

Garrett also noted the changes have been more self-driven instead of coming from coaches or ownership.

«I've heard that from multiple accounts with some players and coaches
