Okay now is time to post scouting videos of Myles Garrett. The second the Cleveland Browns lost their 15th game of the season, I fully expected Myles Garrett would be the #1 pick. His physical tools are exceptional. But the more I watched film on this guy, the receipts didn't match his hyped price tag.
To go further, the guy looks ordinary A LOT. It's almost shocking how ordinary this guy looks for most parts of a 4 quarter game.
To start Myles Garrett film review, what better game to watch than the 2015 game between Texas A&M vs Auburn and the Browns 2016 3rd round pick, Shon Coleman.
If you don't want to watch the whole game, let me give a summary of Myles Garrett performance:
1st half - Invisible
2nd half - Invisible
1 tackle... which was 25 yards down field.
There ya go. Thanks for coming.
In this game, Auburn gave Garrett no extra attention. Ran at him. Took advantage of Garrett's over-pursuit the whole game.
Shon Coleman put on a clinic. Browns getting him in the 3rd round was a steal.
Bottom line for this game, and for Garrett in general, is that he's a finesse player who needs space to impact the game. If an OL gets hands on him he's 100% ineffective. Not only that, when engaged with an OL, he seems to quit on plays while getting pushed around.
I have no doubt the Browns drafted Coleman largely due to how he made Garrett disappear for a full 60 minutes game.
There's no way the Browns didn't have a higher grade on Joey Bosa than Garrett and they didn't stay @ #2 to draft him last year.
Browns ain't drafting Myles Garrett with the #1 pick in a NFL Draft.
Myles Garrett used to kill Shon Coleman. I remember it specifically because it was so bad, It might've been 2014. i think he had improved in that 2015 showing and that's what you are seeing
