Myles Garrett Predicts \u2018My Best Season Ever\u2019 as $160 Million Browns Star<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can we speak frankly about the\u00a0Cleveland Browns’ best player, Myles Garrett?<\/p>\n

Yes, he should play a bigger role for the franchise after being given his four-year, $160 million extension with the team back in March.<\/p>\n

Yes, as a leader he should be here for OTAs and be the first guy in the building and the last guy out.<\/p>\n

And yes, when Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz says, “With great power comes great responsibility” when talking about the team’s defensive superstar. … he shouldn’t require the media (or the Browns) to have to soften the phrasing as if the Spider-Man reference is anything other than a mandate asking for the aforementioned.<\/p>\n

While we certainly respect the views of long-time Browns insider\u00a0Terry Pluto, who insists the Spider-Man reference isn’t “so much leadership” …<\/p>\n

What else is there?<\/p>\n

More sacks? More tackles for loss?<\/p>\n

Last season, the 29-year-old edge rusher finished with 14.5 sacks, as well as leading the NFL in tackles for loss with 22. As a result, he was named First Team All-Pro for the fourth time in the last five seasons.<\/p>\n

Said Pluto: “Myles\u2019 personality is not going to change a whole lot. This is what you got … (Schwartz) said he thought Myles would respond with his best season ever with the contract and all that.”<\/p>\n

Aha. Now we’re onto something … because this week,\u00a0Garrett himself is saying that very thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to having my best season<\/a> for sure, and I think it\u2019s trending that way,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cBeen really good, and I think everything\u2019s pointed in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, not everything.<\/p>\n

Remember, Garrett launched into the offseason by demanding a trade because he believed the Browns lacked a Super Bowl path.<\/p>\n

And that really hasn’t changed just because he signed the biggest deal for a defensive player in NFL history at $40 million per year.<\/p>\n

But … now it’s football time. “Best season” time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day I stepped forth here at this facility, with this organization, I\u2019ve had an opportunity to have a platform and to set a standard,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve got to continue to be the leader for this team and set that standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
