NFL Player Myles Garrett, Defensive End for the Browns, Cited for Exceeding Speed Limit by 40 mph on a 60 mph Zone
Defensive end Myles Garrett, a six-time Pro Bowler and four-time First Team All-Pro, has been cited for speeding for the eighth time since being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2017. The latest incident occurred on Saturday night in Strongsville, Ohio, when Garrett was driving a gray 2014 Ferrari at a speed of 100 mph in a 60 mph zone[1][4].
Garrett, who was issued a $250 ticket, is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. The Browns have not yet commented on the incident[1].
This is not the first time Garrett has been cited for speeding. In September 2022, he was involved in a single-car crash caused by driving 65 mph in a 45 mph zone, which led to a citation for "failure to control his vehicle"[1][3][5]. In another instance, he was cited multiple times within a 24-hour span for driving 120 mph and 105 mph, and he has also faced charges for reckless operation of a motor vehicle[2][1][4].
Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has expressed his disappointment with Garrett's repeated speeding incidents, stating that safety is a priority[1][4][5]. Despite these off-field issues, Garrett remains a highly regarded player, recently signing a lucrative contract extension and earning accolades like the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year[2][4].
The incident comes at a time when the Browns are preparing for two joint practices and a preseason game in Philadelphia, scheduled for Tuesday[1]. Another high-profile member of the Browns, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, was previously pulled over twice for speeding before training camp[1].
Garrett has made 117 appearances (114 starts) for the Browns, recording 352 tackles and 102.5 sacks[1]. Despite the repeated speeding citations, Garrett's talent and contributions to the team have not gone unnoticed. The Browns are hopeful that he will learn from this incident and focus on maintaining a safe driving record moving forward.
