Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski is not pleased with defensive end Myles Garrett after the star was cited for driving 100 mph over the weekend.
“Coming from a team leader, extremely disappointing,” Stefanski said Wednesday before the Browns began their joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles. “It’s been addressed with Myles — with the football team. He needs to slow down for his safety and the safety of others.”
Garrett, 29, was stopped by police in suburban Strongsville at 2:01 a.m. Saturday, about a half-hour after the team plane landed following a 30-10 preseason win in Carolina. He did not play in the game in Charlotte.
He was ticketed for driving his gray 2014 Ferrari at 100 mph in a 60 mph zone.
Garrett was issued a $250 ticket and is scheduled to appear in court Thursday, but he can avoid attending if he pays the fine.
The incident comes nearly three years after Garrett flipped his Porsche 911 Turbo S multiple times in a single-car crash. He was traveling 65 mph in a 45 mph zone before driving off the side of the road, striking a ditch and fire hydrant.
It’s the eighth time Garrett has been cited for speeding since being drafted first overall in 2017 out of Texas A&M.
The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has been a force since entering the league.
In eight seasons with the Browns, Garrett is a six-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time first-team All-Pro. He has 352 tackles and 102.5 sacks in 117 games (114 starts).
Garrett signed a four-year contract extension with the Browns, which includes $123.5 million guaranteed, earlier this year.
