Myles Garrett Gets Speeding Ticket For Going 20-Over Limit – 9th Ticket Since ’17

Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl defender Myles Garrett was given a speeding ticket last month.

Garrett was clocked for going 94 mph in a 70 mph zone. This is Garrett’s ninth speeding ticket since entering the league in 2017.

Garrett is supposed to appear in court on March 10. However, his court date will be canceled if he pays the fine in full beforehand. 

The Browns drafted Garrett with the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. In his first season, injuries limited him to just 11 games. In 2018, he played in all 16 games and made his first career Pro Bowl appearance. 

Injuries again limited Garrett in 2019, who played just 10 games. In 2020, he made the Pro Bowl and helped the Browns end their 17-year playoff drought. He’s made the Pro Bowl every season since 2020.

His health has significantly improved since 2020. From 2021 to 2025, he’s only missed two games. He’s played in all 17 games for two straight seasons. 

Garrett is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. He won his first award in 2023, when he led the league in approximate value with 20. He also won the award this season. He had 23 sacks and 33 tackles for loss to lead the league.

Garrett set the all-time record for sacks in a season. The previous record was set by T.J Watt with the Steelers in 2021, who had 22.5. This mark tied Michael Strahan, who had 22.5 sacks for the New York Giants in 2001. It’s important to note that Strahan did this in a 16-game season, compared to Watt and Garrett, who had 17 games.  

The Browns will look to improve their fortunes under their new head coach, Todd Monken, who was previously the Ravens’ offensive coordinator.
