Myles Garrett has become the talk of the town. The Cleveland Browns defensive end was involved in a car crash on September 26. Garrett's Porsche 911 Turbo S was badly damaged in a single-car accident. Thankfully, the NFL star escaped with only a few minor injuries.

Garrett suffered a sprained left shoulder and a sprained right bicep due to the impact of his crash. However, he surprisingly returned to training on Wednesday, just nine days after his accident. Garrett is also in line to play in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

The 26-year-old's physical recovery and grit to get back to football training so quickly have left many in awe. Some fans are also curious to learn whether Garrett's incredible physique and training routine may have played a role in his speedy comeback.
