Former Texas A&M star Myles Garrett raised a few eyebrows when openly pleaded with the Dallas Cowboys to trade up and select him in the 2017 NFL Draft. But, honestly, who could blame him.

Garrett is expected by many to be the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft, and the Cleveland Browns are on the clock. Should the Cowboys make a move to acquire the star pass rusher, Garrett would begin his career in his home state with one of the fastest-rising teams in the NFL. The Browns, meanwhile, are fresh off a 1-15 campaign and have just four wins over the past two years.

In a move that should have been expected, Garrett retraced his steps and Mark Berman, the sports director at KRIV, that he would love to play for Cleveland.

It’s the right thing for a player in his position to say, but few would argue that Dallas much more preferable destination for Garrett. He could join his former Texas A&M teammate Dak Prescott and become another weapon for a possible Super Bowl contender.

Garrett will likely be content with any NFL chance that he is given, but Cleveland hasn’t been kind to first-round draft picks. Just ask the Browns’ first pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, Joe Thomas. The All-Pro tackle is one of the league’s best players, but he hasn’t had many wins to brag of.

Garrett could potentially reverse Cleveland’s football fortunes, but, then again, that’s been said of players before.
