Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett Dominates Colts: Texas A&M Aggies in the NFL Week 7
The Texas A&M Aggies boast 27 former student-athletes in the NFL who are currently helping their teams along in the 2023 season. Through six weeks, certain Aggies are shining.
Former Aggies defensive end and current Cleveland Browns defensive standout Myles Garrett had maybe the best game of any defensive player in Week 7. In the team's 39-38 nail-biting win over the Indianapolis Colts, Garrett registered two sacks, nine tackles with seven solo and one for loss, one pass defended, two quarterback hits, one forced fumble, and a blocked field goal.
With Indy and Cleveland tied 14-14 in the second quarter, the Colts were attempting a 60-yard field goal attempt. Lined up in the middle of the block team, Garrett timed his jump over the line perfectly, clearing everyone and deflecting the ball right off the kicker's foot. It's one of the most athletic football plays you will ever see.
