Myles Garrett has been on the NFL’s radar since he was 16 years old.
Then—when he was a junior at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas—the talk started about this freak defensive end.
Garrett was an all-state honorable mention, made the all-district first team and was a member of the "Super Team"—a kind of all-star squad from the state of Texas.
"Living in the Dallas area and being a scout, people try to hype up their high school kids to you all the time," said an NFL scout who saw Garrett in high school. "Ninety-nine percent of the time, it’s bull****, but this kid was the real deal. He looked like Jevon Kearse as a junior."
That freak skill set allowed Garrett to post 27.5 sacks in his final two seasons—19.5 as a senior—at Martin and earned him a Parade All-American selection.
