Myles Garrett releases statement about playing in Texas A&M's bowl game
After star running backs Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey announced they would be sitting out their team’s bowl game, the topic has suddenly become a hot one.
While there are certainly different sides of the argument on whether or not players should skip a bowl game in order to avoid injury and prepare for the NFL, Texas A&M star Myles Garrett has made his feelings known.
In a school release, Garrett stated he plans on practicing with the Aggies in preparation for the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl and will plan to play in the game against Kansas State on Dec. 28.

Although Garrett is projected to be one of the top picks in the 2017 NFL Draft, and could be the first player off the board, it looks like he’s ready for one more game with his teammates.
