Myles Garrett is making headlines again, this time for trading tackles on the field for speeding at 94 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. The Cleveland Browns linebacker was pulled over on February 21, 2026, just hours after attending a Miami (OH) basketball game. It seems Garrett’s velocity might be a little too hard to contain—while most fans admire his speed in scrimmages, this time, it landed him a hefty ticket.
Fortunately for Garrett, the officer noted he was“kind and cooperative,”which may have helped keep any further trouble at bay. Still, he now faces a court appearance on March 10, or he can simply cough up the cash for the ticket—after all, this is a guy who’s made over $151 million in his career. With multiple speeding tickets piling up over the years since his 2017 draft, maybe it’s time for Garrett to consider a speed limit on and off the field.
Speed can be thrilling, but one has to wonder if it’s better left to the game rather than the highway. As fans, what we hope to see next is less road trouble and more pass rushes in the upcoming season!
