Myles Garrett makes his debut with the Los Angeles Rams after being acquired in a trade from the Cleveland Browns. The Rams sent Jared Verse, along with future draft picks, to the Browns for Garrett, marking the largest move of the offseason. Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is set to play outside linebacker in the Rams' 3-4 scheme but will primarily focus on pass rushing. He aims to fill the void left by Aaron Donald's retirement, bringing elite defensive skills to the team. With a track record of success, including 23 sacks last season, Garrett is expected to be a key player for the Rams in their pursuit of a Super Bowl title.
