"He's a clown for speeding & then acting like it’s not fair game"- NFL fans react as Myles Garrett refuses to address 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.

Garrett was cited for driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone earlier this month. Police records show he was stopped at about 2 a.m. on Aug. 9 while driving his gray Ferrari home from the Browns’ preseason trip to Carolina. He received a $250 ticket, but will not need to make a court appearance if the fine is paid.

Reporters pressed Garrett about the incident on Tuesday, but 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."

This episode adds to a track record of speeding issues Myles Garrett has had since joining the league in 2017. According to Pro Football Talk, Garrett has had at least eight traffic violations since 2017.

Amid his off-field issues, Garrett returned to the practice field this week as the Browns prepared for joint sessions with the Philadelphia Eagles. The organization has not announced whether Garrett will face any disciplinary action.

Earlier this offseason, owner Jimmy Haslam publicly challenged Garrett to evolve into a locker-room leader following a four-year, $160 million contract extension.
