Myles Garrett cited for speeding after preseason trip

On Saturday morning Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was cited for driving 100 miles per hour in a 60 mph zone, according to Cleveland.com. It marks his eighth speeding citation since arriving in Cleveland as the first pick in the 2017 draft.

Garrett previously faced a severe crash when he flipped a Porsche 911 three times while speeding and swerving to avoid an animal three years ago. He later said it would be a wake up call and that he should take his time. The latest ticket carries a 250 dollar fine and can be paid by mail. The team was returning from a preseason game in Carolina on Friday night. The Browns have also noted they want to avoid catastrophic accidents, a message echoed by executives alert to safety concerns within the sport.

This incident fits a troubling pattern of high speed driving among players with access to fast cars. It invites scrutiny of how the Browns handle accountability and how the league talks about player safety in public. While a 250 dollar fine is minor in the grand scheme, the repeat nature of the behavior raises questions about discipline and culture within the team.

Public perception matters here. Fans, sponsors and the league all watch for signs that athletes take road safety seriously. Clear consequences and consistent messaging from teams could help steer behavior, beyond the headlines created by a single speeding ticket.
