He may be one of the best players in the NFL, but Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett isn’t very good at following traffic laws.
The 2025 Defensive Player of the Year was cited for driving 94 mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 71 in Congress Township, Ohio, which is between Cleveland and Columbus, on Feb. 21, according to court records.
This speeding ticket marks the ninth since Garrett entered the NFL since his rookie season in 2017, which includes a terrifying moment in which he rolled over his Porsche in 2022 after an incident in which speeding was a factor.

Garrett was then cited for going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone at the time.
Garrett was also driving a Porsche during this traffic stop, when the Browns star was pulled over by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office while going 24 mph over the speed limit in the early hours of last month. Before being arrested, Garrett was seen at a college basketball game between Bowling Green and Miami of Ohio in Oxford, near Cincinnati.
Prior to this ticket, Garrett was stopped during Browns training camp on August 9, where he was driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone in Strongsville, Ohio, which is near the team’s training facility in Berea.
The Browns had just returned home from their preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers, which resulted in a $250 fine for Garrett as well.
The media peppered him with questions about his speeding after his eighth citation, but he refused to answer.

“Honestly, I’d rather talk about football and this team than anything I’m doing off the field other than the back-to-school event I did the other day,” Garrett told the media on Aug. 20.
Garrett added that he tried to “keep my personal life personal. And I’d rather focus on this team when I can.”
It was hard not to ask Garrett about what happened in 2022, when he suffered a shoulder and bicep strain, among other less serious injuries, after his car flipped. He had to miss the team’s Week 4 game against the Atlanta Falcons, although he returned to his normal self that year. He had 16 sacks and two forced fumbles in 16 games for Cleveland.
Last year, Garrett broke the single-season sack record (23) with a league-high 33 tackles for loss in a wild campaign that made him a lock for the Defensive Player of the Year Award in his ninth season with the Browns. He had already earned three consecutive first-team All-Pro honors and five overall.

But Garrett will now have to appear in court on March 10 or pay a fine of more than $100 for his latest speeding ticket, according to WKYC in Cleveland. After signing a record four-year, $160 million extension with Cleveland last year, the latter is likely the option he’ll choose.
