WATCH: Myles Garrett shows off ridiculous NBA skills with crazy dunk, three-pointers
Myles Garrett has long been one of the biggest freaks of nature in all of sports. In the past few months, he’s decided to show off his basketball skills on a number of occasions. On Sunday, he posted a ridiculous video of him doing a windmill dunk while standing flat-footed below the rim. There was that play and a nice three-pointer that he drained.
Check it out.
It’s just yet another vivid reminder that Garrett is one of the biggest freaks in all of sports. For a 6-foot-4, 272-pound man to be able to dunk a basketball like that flat-footed, it’s pretty ridiculous.
Myles Garrett prospect profile
Myles Garrett is one of the most highly touted football prospects of all-time and he’s lived up to that lofty billing on every level of football he’s played. As a former five-star prospect coming out of Martin High School in Arlington, Texas, Garrett was one of the most dominant prospects in the 2014 recruiting class. According to the On3 Consensus Rankings, he was rated as the No. 1 overall prospect in America.
As a senior, he racked up 81 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and 19 quarterback hurries. He also had three forced fumbles and four blocked kicks. The Texas native was named an Under Armour All-American.
When he enrolled at Texas A&M, the five-star didn’t disappoint there either. He became the ninth player in school history to earn unanimous first-team All-America honors in 2016. The uber-talented defensive end was also a finalist for the Bednarik and Rotary Lombardi Awards. He finished his highly decorated Texas A&M career with 145 total tackles, 48.5 tackles for loss, and 32.5 sacks.
His freakish athleticism was on display at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine
Garrett posted a 41-inch vertical leap at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine, so his freakish displays of athleticism from him are nothing new. He also ran a 4.64 40-yard dash time. That doesn’t make his incredible athletic skills any less impressive. His dominant performance at the Scouting Combine was a big reason the Cleveland Browns decided to pick him with the No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft.
He racked up 16 sacks this season for the Cleveland Browns and continues to be an unblockable force for them, year in, year out. During every year of his NFL career thus far except for one, he’s posted double digit sacks. Garrett has tallied 58.5 career sacks for his career, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
