CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Browns have some overzealous rookies making up their defensive line this season. Myles Garrett, a 23-year-old defensive end showed up to camp in full “beast mode” even though that meant not following the rules. Garret was seen causing issues during the 11-on-11 plays and cutting off fellow teammates when it came to live tackling sessions.
Onlookers also witness Garrett trying to kick field goals in the punters' section and running around the field to greet fans that wanted to watch the practices. He was not the only player in high spirits to cause problems during the camp.
“Myles is trying to be great, you have to respect it,’’ said linebacker Christian Kirkey. “He’s only going into Year 3, which is amazing. He’s trying to be the best defensive end in the league, and you have to respect it. He’s going to ramp it up a notch, he is going to ramp up the intensity and be a huge playmaker for us.”
The Defensive Line
Sione Takitaki, a 24-year-old rookie linebacker wanted to put his tackling talents on display for the coaches at the camp. This led to many offensive players getting upset due to Takitaki tackling during non-tackling practices. At one point, running back coach Stump Mitchell took Takitaki to the side to give him a talking to.
Cornerback Lenzy Pipkins has been doing great things as the outside corner. He was able to stop a pass thrown by quarterback Drew Stanton to wide receiver Ishmael Hyman. Cornerback Robert Jackson is off the practice squad bench and excelling at breaking up passes in practice.
