Video: Arden Key pays tribute to Myles Garrett

Published: Jan 14, 2017 · 10:10 AM EST

LSU DE Arden Key is one of the best speed rushers in the SEC, but even he knows others blazed the trail for him.

On Friday night, he posted a video comparing his speed rush to Texas A&M DE Myles Garrett’s speed rush, along with a message wishing the former Aggie well in his NFL draft preparations:

Looking back on the season, I know I’ve played with some of the best in the game. Myles played with a lot of heart and it’s great to see his hardwork paying off for the upcoming draft. Wishing nothing but the best for the 2017 draft class. As for me, I’m ready to eat !!!!! Let’s Go Tigers!!!! #begreat #journeytobegreat #sbnation #nike #ardenkey #AK49eats #mylesgarrett #texas #espn #allamerican #foxsport #bleacherreport #lsu #lsunation

Key finished the season with 12 sacks compared to Garrett’s 8.5, bringing down Heisman winner Lamar Jackson twice in the Tigers’ bowl victory.

Garrett, meanwhile, is in the mix to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Key, on the other hand, will be back with LSU next year to terrorize SEC quarterbacks for another year.
