Myles Garrett gets speeding citation in latest Browns driving issue

Myles Garrett was nabbed by police for speeding, according to multiple reports published on Monday. 

The Browns’ star defensive end was stopped by Strongsville police for going 100 mph in a 60 mph zone shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, according to public records, and occurred in the hours after the Browns returned from Carolina and their first preseason game. 

Video obtained by TMZ of the stop showed an officer pulling over the six-time Pro Bowl while he was driving a gray 2014 Ferrari, with the interaction being cordial.

Garrett was given a $250 ticket that can be paid without having to go to court, or he would have to appear in court on Thursday.

Cleveland.com reported that the Browns were aware of what happened and it will be addressed while the team is in Philadelphia for joint practices with the Eagles on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Garrett has been cited eight times for speeding since the Browns took him No. 1 overall in 2017 and he had been involved in a serious crash in 2022 when he flipped the car he was driving.

The ticket comes after rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had been cited for speeding twice over the course of 12 days. 

It led to Browns general manager Andrew Berry calling it “not smart” and “something that we’ve addressed with him” when he spoke with reporters the second day of training camp. 

“He understands the implications, he understands the consequences,” Berry said of Sanders. “I think the thing is it’s not just about yourself. It’s not just about having a joy ride, it’s not just about driving a car really fast, but it’s about the fact that you can endanger other people. It’s about the fact that if a deer or someone cuts out in front of you, like your reaction time. It’s just dangerous and it’s not something that we want our guys to be doing. It’s not something that they should be doing.”
