Myles Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, signed with the Cleveland Browns on Friday.
Myles Garrett signed his rookie deal with Browns to Seal’s ‘Kiss From a Rose’
Great song choice by the rookie.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Garrett’s contract is for four years and worth $30.4 million, with a signing bonus of $20.25 million. That’s not the most interesting part of him signing with the Browns though.
Garrett signed his contract while listening to Seal’s “Kiss From a Rose.”
You’re probably asking yourself why Garrett signed to “Kiss From a Rose” of all songs, and it’s a good question.
- Perhaps he’s a huge fan of Batman Forever.
- He could also just be a fan of the song (it is a good song!).
- Garrett could also be implying that the deal is signed, Seal-ed, delivered.
- It could be a subtle tribute to his former Texas A&M teammate Ricky Seals-Jones.
It also may be as simple as:
In signing Garrett, the Browns have now locked six of their draft picks into contracts. Jabrill Peppers, David Njoku, DeShone Kizer, and Caleb Brantley are the only rookies who remain unsigned.
The Browns will hope Garrett works out better than recent first-round selections. Players like Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden, Johnny Manziel, and Justin Gilbert are just some of the busts from the past few years.
Garrett was arguably the only safe pick of the draft, and even the Browns couldn’t mess this one up.
