6. Myles Garrett’s weight room dominanceÂ
This shoudn’t be considered a surprise. Garrett has been considered the top prospect throughout the entire 2017 NFL Draft process. All he did in Indianapolis this weekend was confirm that status.
The Texas A&M product was an absolute monster in the weight room, which caught the attention of a Browns team that boasts the top pick in the draft.
💪💪 Myles Garrett 💪💪

Coming off a three-year career with the Aggies that saw him record 31 sacks and 47 tackles for loss, the production is definitely there. Add in the game film and Garrett’s performance at the combine, and he’s a near lock to go No. 1 overall to the Browns. Though, we’re definitely going to want to see how he does in the drills on Sunday.
In a related piece of information, the drama Garrett set off last month by indicating he wanted the Cowboys to trade up for him can now be considered a thing of the past.
The EDGE rusher has decided to apologize to Cleveland for that off-handed remark. This seems to be a clear sign that Garrett will go No. 1 overall in the upcoming draft. His performance in Indy only lends credence to that idea.
