“Starting this season, Myles Garrett will not only anchor our defense—he’ll be wearing the captain’s ‘C’ permanently and stepping into a hybrid leadership role on and off the field,” Stefanski said during a surprise press conference early Wednesday morning. “He’s not just our most dominant player. He’s our tone-setter, our heartbeat. It’s time we lean into that even more.”
Fans immediately flooded social media, calling the news “better than a Super Bowl win” and dubbing it “Garrett Era 2.0.”
But that wasn’t all.
Stefanski also teased the possibility of using Garrett in “unconventional packages,” sparking speculation that the defensive phenom could occasionally line up on offense or even act as a situational team motivator during game planning.
“Don’t be surprised if you see No. 95 catching a touchdown pass this year,” Stefanski added with a grin. “He’s been working on his hands.”
The Browns Locker Room Reacts
Inside the locker room, players were reportedly “buzzing with energy” after the announcement. Quarterback Deshaun Watson said, “There’s no one more deserving. Myles already leads by example—this just makes it official.”
Veteran linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. called the news “the beginning of something special.”
A New Chapter for Cleveland
As the Browns aim to make a deep playoff push this season, Stefanski’s bold move signals that this is not the same old Cleveland. With Myles Garrett leading the charge like never before, the team’s identity is clear: fast, fearless, and hungry.
And the fans? They’re all in.
“Give us the rings now,” one excited fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Myles Garrett is HIM, and Stefanski just became Coach of the Year.”
