3. The Browns would miss out on a freak athlete

Myles Garrett performance at the NFL Combine may go down as one of the best televised spectacles. Garrett has measurables that are hard to ignore at 6-foot-4 and 272 pounds.

The junior defensive end ran a 4.64 40-yard, had a 41′ vertical leap, 10’8″ inch broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds for 33 reps. He posted the best vertical jump among defensive lineman at the combine and had the fifth-best 40 time.

After the NFL Combine, many expected Garrett to take it easy at Texas A&M’s Pro Day on March 30. While many other top prospects took it easy, Garrett did it all in front of many NFL scouts.

Garrett told those in attendance he ran a 4.56 40-yard dash and participated in the physical testing at pro day. Much of the workout was focused on quarterback Trevor Knight and the wide receivers (Speedy Noil, Josh Reynolds and Ricky Seals-Jones), but Garrett still did his part to show off his pure talents.
