Rams defensive lineman Poona Ford already wore No. 95, and Garrett was asked at his introductory press conference how he got the number from Ford.
"Just a conversation," Garrett said. "It didn't take too much."
That led Rams coach Sean McVay to ask Garrett, "Conversation and a couple bucks?"
Garrett answered, "Maybe more than a couple, but he was open to it."
