Myles Garrett has his eyes on one team in the league, not to join them, but for his current team to follow in terms of success.
The Cleveland Browns defensive end hopes the franchise can follow the recipe of the NFC Champs: The Philadelphia Eagles.
Just this offseason, the Browns hired Jim Schwartz as the new defensive coordinator and signed Dalvin Tomlinson and Ogbo Okoronkwo to join Garrett on the defensive line in 2023.
“Hope we can make this consistent, make this a group that can be feared because we’re going to be here for a long time, we’re going to be consistently good for a long time and I feel like the Eagles have kind of the recipe,” Garrett told the Akron Beacon Journal.
“They have their guys who are mainstays and who’ve been there for a long time and they got some new additions here and there, but you have guys that you know, ‘Well, damn, we’re facing the Eagles defensive line, we got to buckle up, we got to get ready.’ I’m hoping that we can put that same fear into people.”
