Myles Garrett spent the 2025 season wrecking offensive game plans and chasing down quarterbacks like few defenders ever have. The Cleveland Browns star racked up a record-setting 23 sacks, which earned him his second NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

At 6-foot-4 and 272 pounds, Garrett has turned into one of the most physically overwhelming forces in the NFL. His speed and power make him nearly unstoppable on Sundays.

Away from the field, though, that same need for speed keeps landing him in hot water.

Garrett was recently cited for driving 94 mph in a 70-mph zone along Interstate 71 in Congress Township, Ohio, according to Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot.

The highway connects Cleveland and Columbus, and this latest ticket adds to a growing list. Garrett has now been pulled over nine times since entering the league in 2017. One of those incidents turned dangerous in 2022, when he flipped his Porsche in a crash tied to excessive speed.

This summer brought another citation before the most recent one even surfaced. Authorities stopped Garrett on Aug. 9, 2025, in Strongsville, Ohio, after clocking him at 100 mph in a 60-mph zone. The location sits just a few minutes from the Browns’ training facility in Berea.

Garrett’s ability to dominate on the field has made him a player Cleveland fans celebrate every week. His relentless pursuit of quarterbacks and ability to blow up plays before they develop have turned him into one of the league’s most feared pass rushers.

But the pattern of speeding violations raises questions about his judgment off the field.
