Projected No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Myles Garrett is billed by ESPN as "the most interesting man in the draft." A pair of LSU tight ends who faced him last season might have another description for the Texas A&M product.
Garrett said in a Q&A with ESPN that the meanest thing he's ever done came while he played last season against the Tigers, when he "choked out their tight end two times in a row."
Garrett told the website "he had it coming. He just kept holding me, so I picked him up, put him on his back and then I grabbed his face mask and kept jamming his helmet into the ground. I said, 'I'm setting you straight right now. Don't do illegal holds.'"
Garrett did not say which LSU tight end he was talking about, but the ESPN broadcast showed Garrett throwing LSU tight end DeSean Smith to the turf as Derrius Guice scored a touchdown that put the Tigers ahead 34-10 in the third quarter, on a play for which Garrett drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
On the next play, the broadcast showed Garrett on top of Foster Moreau with the LSU tight end flat on his back after the extra-point kick. There was no penalty on that play.
Garrett ended the game with only two tackles. LSU won 54-39.
