Watch Myles Garrett Showcase His Ridiculous Athleticism At NFL Combine
Resisting the urge to overreact to National Football League scouting combine numbers is an exercise in restraint, but sometimes it’s just futile. The Cleveland Browns, who own the draft’s first overall pick, noticed.
From what I’m hearing in Indianapolis, I’d be genuinely shocked if the 49ers chose a quarterback in the first round, despite various mock drafts around the media landscape sending Mitch Trubisky to John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan at No. 2. Garrett’s Combine proved that he is head and shoulders, and maybe more.
Garrett, who recorded 32.5 sacks in three years with the Aggies, said he has plenty to work on as he transitions to the NFL. Although Peppers worked out with the linebackers on Sunday, he plans on working out with the defensive backs on Monday as well. In three seasons at Texas A&M, Garrett totaled 31 sacks. “The Cowboys, they turned around their season in a big way”. He bench-pressed 225 pounds 33 times and was said to have had a very strong interview as well.
I’m not sure about the questionable beach muscles comparison, but the man is a monster, possessing the kind of body that most teams salivate over.
Defensive ends Solomon Thomas, of Stanford, Taco Charlton, of MI, could both be taken early, too. As far as sacking Brady, that will also be a big challenge. One player who finished well in all the “explosive” categories was Temple linebacker Haason Reddick.
If it doesn’t, a team may be scrambling for years to find a solution.
Do YOU want to write for GiveMeSport? Many analysts have mocked Louisiana State safety Jamal Adams to the Jaguars at No. 4, and there is starting to be some buzz for Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas there. And to break down their technique based on the guy’s initial quickness, that’s what I look of the most. If you want me to bend the corner from the outside, I can do it. That would be tied for fifth-fastest by a 270-pound defensive lineman at the combine since 2006.
The Browns obviously need a quarterback, but probably won’t be able to pass on the consensus best player in the draft. Obviously there’s things I can improve on, I feel I’m the best defensive tackle in the nation.
