Though he had a ton of success individually, Myles Garrett had to suffer through a lot of painful years in Cleveland. The Browns made the playoffs just twice in his nine years with the team, winning just one postseason game since he was drafted first overall.
Garrett will be in a completely different situation this season after being traded to the Los Angeles Rams, who were already the Super Bowl favorites before adding him to the mix. He’ll immediately have his best chance to win a ring, similar to the way Matthew Stafford did in 2021 after he was acquired by L.A.
Former Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth expects big things from Garrett and believes L.A. will get an “amped-up version” of him after he gets acclimated to his new team. Whitworth expects Garrett to realize how special the Rams are as an organization and the opportunity he has in front of him to finally contend in the playoffs.
"I've already kind of caught up with him. He's used my gym here that a lot of the guys train at, so it's been great to kind of see him in the fold here and be around him a little bit. I'm excited for him," Whitworth told Ryan Morik of FOX News. "I think he'll realize this is a pretty special place to play. It's a very unique locker room and culture. I consider it a one-of-one type place, and I think, having some conversations with him, he's already picked up on that and realizes what a special opportunity this is.
"I think you'll see an even more invigorated, excited, amped-up version of Myles Garrett when he gets in here and realizes how special this place is and the juice it's going to give him to be a part of something bigger than himself where he's on a winner, and he's in a place that's built to win, and he'll be one of the reasons they win. So I think it's going to be fun to watch this guy get after it this fall."
Garrett typically skipped voluntary OTAs with the Browns, opting to train and prepare for the season on his own during the spring. After he was traded to the Rams, though, he took part in team practices and will soon be back on the field with his new teammates for training camp.
It’s impossible for Garrett not to be excited about the upcoming season in L.A., getting the chance to play alongside Matthew Stafford, Kobie Turner, Byron Young and Davante Adams.
He probably can’t wait to get started in camp next month, just as fans can't wait to see him in royal and yellow.
