Myles Garrett vows to put Aaron Rodgers 'in the graveyard' after quarterback's move to Steelers
Keyshawn Johnson breaks down who will have the better season between Aaron Rodgers with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Justin Fields with the New York Jets.
Aaron Rodgers is excited to be a part of the Pittsburgh Steelers after a long offseason journey led to him finally signing on with the franchise.
But he’s not the only one excited to see him in the AFC North. Cleveland Browns star edge rusher Myles Garrett is licking his chops, too.
"What do I think about it?" Garrett said Tuesday at Browns minicamp about Rodgers joining his division rival. "I think it’s a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard."

Garrett's quip refers to his job of getting Rodgers on the turf when their teams meet twice this season. In fact, Garrett could be referring to what he does at his house every Halloween: setting up tombstones with quarterbacks he’s sacked over his illustrious career.

Rodgers is no stranger to being sacked. He has the all-time record for most sacks taken with 571 over 248 career games. But he hasn’t been taken down by Garrett over his 20 NFL seasons.
They only faced each other once, and that was in Week 16 of the 2021 season when Rodgers was still with the Green Bay Packers. It was a 24-22 win over Cleveland, and Garrett wasn’t able to get Rodgers behind the line for a sack.

He is hoping to change that now after Rodgers, the 41-year-old four-time MVP, signed a one-year deal reportedly worth $13.65 million
