Garrett’s passion for both talking and playing basketball is evident, as he even participated in the NBA‘s All-Star Celebrity Game in 2022 when it was hosted by the Cavs. For Garrett, this opportunity to join the Cavaliers is a dream come true.
Notably, Garrett had a standout performance in a recent NFL game against the Indianapolis Colts, where he recorded nine tackles, two sacks, forced two fumbles, deflected a pass, and leaped over the Colts’ offensive line to block a field goal, contributing significantly to the Browns’ 39-38 victory. His exceptional performance earned him the title of AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Garrett was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft after an impressive college career at Texas A&M.
