**Browns Star Myles Garrett Avoids Questions on Speeding Ticket**
Myles Garrett, the standout defensive end for the Cleveland Browns, recently faced a tense moment with reporters after practice when questioned about a speeding ticket he received earlier this month. The ticket was issued by police in Strongsville, Ohio, for allegedly driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone, marking Garrett’s eighth speeding violation since joining the team in 2017.
When pressed about the incident, Garrett made it clear he preferred to focus on football rather than his personal life. “I’d honestly rather talk about football and this team than anything I’m doing off the field — other than the back-to-school event that I did the other day,” he stated. Despite repeated inquiries from the media, he maintained his stance, saying, “I try to keep my personal life personal … I’d rather focus on this team when I can.”
Garrett further emphasized his desire to shift the conversation, requesting, “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.”
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed disappointment regarding Garrett’s citation, urging him to prioritize safety. “He needs to slow down for his safety and the safety of others,” Stefanski remarked.
In a related incident, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Garrett’s teammate, also faced multiple speeding tickets earlier this year. Sanders was cited for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone and later for hitting 101 mph in a 60 mph zone, failing to appear in court for both violations. Unlike Garrett, Sanders openly addressed his traffic issues during a charity event, acknowledging, “I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them.”
As the Browns prepare for the upcoming season, both players will need to navigate their off-field challenges while focusing on their performance on the field.
