Kevin Stefanski declares DE Myles Garrett ‘retires’ from basketball

Kevin Stefanski proclaimed Wednesday that Myles Garrett’s basketball career is officially finished.

“He retired,” the Cleveland Browns mentor said when inquired as to whether he approved of his star pass-rusher playing such a lot of pickup b-ball this offseason. “So congratulations on a great career for Myles. Really proud of him. But he’s done.”

This offseason, the Browns All-Pro posted several videos via social media of himself playing basketball. It started in February with Garrett asking Dallas Mavericks proprietor Mark Cuban on the off chance that he required a “big guard.” Garrett connected a pickup highlight reel to the post.

Most as of late, Garrett tweeted a video of him going behind the back on the spill, at that point dunking one-handed more than two hapless defenders. Over the video, he wrote, “Aight I’m going back to football” with a laughing emoji.

The previous summer, Garrett signed the richest contract extension for a non-quarterback at that point, worth $100 million in guaranteed money. Stefanski wouldn’t say whether he needed to have a discussion with Garrett about a ball retirement. In any case, Garrett jokingly pushed back that it could at any point become permanent.

“I feel it’s more like a Jordan retirement,” Garrett said, using the basketball reference. “Now I got to go back to what I’m good at, what I usually do, playing football, rush the passer, stopping the run.

“But next season, you never know. I might go back to basketball, I might go play baseball, see if I can get on a team. But there’s more on the horizon right now [with football]. I got to get back to what my main focus is.”
