I didn't know how this would play out when I was a kid. I knew I wanted to play ball, be a paleontologist, and write poetry. I thought, 'Heck, where will I find the time? Well, football comes first, and I'll just find some time for poetry, and paleontology can come at the end.' I made this plan at 14, and dang, it's all coming together.

Myles Garrett

You have to know what you're doing to help people and have an important stance in life. You can only do that by staying focused, and I can't lose focus for a second.

Myles Garrett

Life You Yin

After the whistle, during the whistle. Guys try to sneak stuff in. I just have to be uncompliant with stuff like that. Guys feel they can get away with stuff. I have to just try to not get back at him but make sure I finish through him during the whistle and not do anything that can jeopardize the team or that series of downs.

Myles Garrett

Wit Whistle Way

I'm going to stay respectful. The team comes first. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize them or myself, so I'll just make sure I speak lightly and carry a big stick.

Myles Garrett

Respect Car Us

As soon as I step on the field, totally different person. As soon as I step off, I go back to who I've always been.

Myles Garrett

Who Ways Way

If you go in there with a mindset that you're gonna turn things around and make that contagious, and people start to believe in it, you can turn into a winning program wherever you go.

Myles Garrett

Art You Wit

I'm too competitive to try and ride on somebody's coattails to get a W.

Myles Garrett

Pet Try Too

It's nice to have a record, but it's even better to have a win. But it's team before self every time.

Myles Garrett

Time Win Very

Some athletes take what we have for granted. They kind of feel, 'I'm here, and I earned this, so people who are not on this level should just give me what I want and move out the way.'

Myles Garrett

Who Way Want

You play because you love it, not because you can make money from it.

Myles Garrett

Money Love You

You want to get the sack, but you want to get the forced fumble and the fumble recovery. And if you get the touchdown, that's the cherry on top. But you're looking for those three always.

Myles Garrett

You Ways Way

I've just been competitive all my life. That draws from a competitive family. We're all athletes, and we're all trying to win no matter what it is, whether it's Scrabble or basketball.

Myles Garrett

Pet Life Family

I like to speak to my family in person. I get a bad rap because I don't use my phone enough to talk to them, but I do love talking in person, and I don't mind FaceTime, but actually, like, calling and texting, not too big on that.

Myles Garrett

Time Love Family

I don't want anybody to be like me. By the end of my career, I don't want to hear talk of another Myles Garrett.

Myles Garrett

Car Want Talk

I didn't know how this would play out when I was a kid. I knew I wanted to play ball, be a paleontologist, and write poetry. I thought, 'Heck, where will I find the time? Well, football comes first, and I'll just find some time for poetry, and paleontology can come at the end.' I made this plan at 14, and dang, it's all coming together.

Myles Garrett

Time Poetry Write

I won't take bullcrap from anybody.

Myles Garrett

Won Take T

I love making the big play. I love being out there with my teammates. I love the camaraderie. I can't say I always love practice. But it's a means to an end.

Myles Garrett

Love Wit Ways

Don't let anyone be close to how good you are, no matter what the division is - one, two or three. It doesn't matter, everyone plays football. It doesn't matter who the competition is.

Myles Garrett

Pet Good You

From the very beginning, I wanted to be the best, whether it was sports or poetry.

Myles Garrett

Sports Poetry Whether

Boxing is kind of like football in that you test each other's desire to be there.

Myles Garrett

You Test T

I want to take care of my family for generations. I want to have my head turned into a bust in the Hall of Fame.

Myles Garrett

You have to have some fun playing this game.

Myles Garrett

Make sure, if you're willing to say something, that you worked hard enough and prepared well enough to back those things up.

Myles Garrett

If there's the opportunity to turn things around, that's what great players do. They don't complain or become complacent with losing. They just go back to work every day and try to turn things around and make wherever they are a great place to be.

Myles Garrett

'Faithfully' speaks to me. It's about a guy who's busy with his work, always on the road, but I'm still completely into you. If you just hold on, I'll completely give myself to you. Just stick along for the ride.

Myles Garrett

I want the single-season sack record.

Myles Garrett

I can't go out there and be gassed and trying to go out there and make a play just for individual stats. Got to do the best thing for the team, which is to put myself out there when it's most productive for us.

Myles Garrett

Nobody is 100 percent every play, you know - eight, nine plays down the drive. Sometimes you do look back at it and say, 'Dang, I could have gave more effort there, or I loafed it a little.' But you work on those things.

Myles Garrett

I grew up with Ray Charles playing in the car all the time or playing in the house.

Myles Garrett

More people should stand up and not be afraid to do things that mean something to them.

Myles Garrett

When I'm doing sports, I don't feel anything at all. I enjoy the moment. It's a safe haven. But once you try to let someone inside your soul, you become vulnerable. You have to be comfortable in your own skin. I don't open myself up like that to a lot of people. It takes courage.

Myles Garrett

I want to be the greatest. The greatest that ever played, regardless of position or era.

Myles Garrett

I feel I'm athletically superior to most of the guys I go against.

Myles Garrett

Regardless of whether I'm sitting on the bench or out there participating, I'm going to give my all whatever I'm doing.

Myles Garrett

My dad gives me goals, and then I kind of go even farther beyond those.

Myles Garrett

I don't want to have to be taken out because I'm tired or I need a breather.

Myles Garrett

I want to be dominant from day one.

Myles Garrett

I'm trying to be better every single day.

Myles Garrett

Every play I give max effort because it can make the game.

Myles Garrett

Everything has a right to live.

Myles Garrett

I can give it my all and make plays and dominate my side of the field, but it takes all 11 guys with a certain thought process that we're going to go out there, and we're going to win.

Myles Garrett

I want to be more than prepared for the game, for the preseason, for the season.

Myles Garrett

I have to live up to my expectations - which is to break all the records that I can, dominate by a wide margin.

Myles Garrett

It's kind of hard with two moves. I feel like you can't always be so predictable. You can be as strong or fast as you want, but speed-chop and power move aren't always going to work.

Myles Garrett

Just to see how much time is consumed looking down at your phone when you could be reading, becoming better at your own language, or learning a new language - you could be doing so many productive things. You could becoming a better student-athlete.

Myles Garrett

When I'm traveling for away games, I'm reading.

Myles Garrett

You just gotta back up your words. Don't be scared from it, or don't shy from it.

Myles Garrett

You'll see me everywhere, inside, outside. Only place you won't see me is maybe safety.

Myles Garrett

I want to be the greatest player who has ever been at my position, the greatest player who has ever played.

Myles Garrett

You want to be Defensive Player of the Year.
