"Myles Garrett is a clown for speeding"- NFL fans react as Browns DE boldly rejects addressing his latest 100 mph traffic violation

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is in the spotlight for the way he handled questions about his latest traffic violation.

Reporters pressed him Tuesday in Berea about being stopped for driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone earlier this month.

He repeatedly steered the conversation toward football and the upcoming season.

"I'd honestly rather talk about football and this team than anything I'm doing off field, other than the back-to-school event that I did the other day," Garrett said.

"People want to know a lot of things, but I try to keep my personal life personal ... I'd rather focus on this team when I can."

Fans reacted to the media exchange.

“He’s a clown for speeding and then acting like it’s not fair game,” one user wrote.

This episode adds to a track record of speeding issues Myles Garrett has had since joining the league in 2017.

One instance in 2022 is when his car went off the road in Medina County and rolled over several times, resulting in several injuries.

Garrett was back on the practice field this week as the Browns prepared for joint sessions with the Philadelphia Eagles. The organization has not announced whether it plans any discipline.

The spotlight adds another layer to an offseason in which owner Jimmy Haslam publicly challenged him to evolve into a locker-room leader following a four-year, $160 million contract extension.
