Media calling for Myles Garrett to be suspended rest of season for violently hitting QB with helmet
Former Texas A&M defensive end and former No. 1 pick of the 2017 NFL Draft Myles Garrett may be in some serious trouble.
The Browns 21-7 win over the Steelers will be marred by Garrett’s act, and it’s all anyone’s talking about Friday morning.
During Thursday night’s game, Garrett incited a brawl. He ripped off Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet, and he violently hit him with it during the altercation. Some are going so far as calling the act an assault, while others are calling for a record punishment for the pass rusher.
Below are a couple of replays:

Garrett’s act drew the ire of many media personalities across the country. The NFL will review the play, and Garrett could be facing a multi-game suspension at the very least. Some think it’ll be the remaining six games of the season.
Go to @MylesLGarrett page and you’ll see the headline: “A Hero is made by the path he chooses, not by the power he is graced with.” Yet, he goes and does what he did to Mason Rudolph. This calls for an automatic SEASON-ENDING SUSPENSION. He should be DONE for the rest of the year

And it doesn’t matter what was said to him at any point by any one on that field , so don’t tell me anything about that

Myles Garrett should not play football for the rest of this season, and probably longer. An act not seen in decades requires discipline not seen in decades, particularly in these times, when the NFL is trying to clean up the game.

The NFL will come down hard on Myles Garrett fast… but you know what? Freddie Kitchens does't have to wait for the NFL to make their decision. He should immediately suspend Garrett from the team pending the NFL's decision. That would be leadership

That’s going to be a costly helmet swing for Myles Garrett. If he is suspended for the rest of the season, it’s $1.14 million in lost salary. pic.twitter.com/eu2goN6iHL

This happened at my high school. The police arrested the player right then and there. Put him in cuffs and hauled him off to jail in full uniform. https://t.co/Wv5n8DxIWs
