Garrett’s heartwarming response to a jersey exchange request from a Ravens rookie has captured fans’ hearts.

He sort of belittled himself, which did not sit well with Garrett, whose reply is now winning the internet.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has established himself as one of the dominant NFL athletes in the world with his unparalleled defending skills on Gridiron. Not only that, Garret has also decorated his wall of fame with the accolades like 2023  the Defensive Player of the Year, six Pro Bowl, three first-team All-Pro selections, and Unanimous All-American. With great accomplishments comes the responsibility to inspire others and set an example of humility that future players can admire for years.

Garrett recently exemplified this modesty when his team took on the Baltimore Ravens recently. Despite the Browns losing the game, Garrett’s heartwarming response to a jersey exchange request from a Ravens rookie has captured fans’ hearts. The touching moment, now going viral online, highlights Garrett’s character and sportsmanship.

Myles Garrett just earned some more fans

On Sunday, January 5, the Ravens hosted the Browns at their M&T Bank Stadium and won the game by 35-10 with the help of some exceptional performances from Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and Rashod Bateman. During the game, a heart-melting exchange between Ravens' offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten and the Browns' Garrett became a highlight of the game when the former asked Garrett for his jersey when the game was over. While Rosengarten asked for the jersey, he sort of belittled himself, which did not sit well with Garrett, whose reply is now winning the internet.

"I know I'm a nobody, but, if I could get that jersey after?" Rosengarten asked

To which responded:

"Hey, you're in this league. Y'all are winning games, y'all looking great. You ain't never a nobody, I got you," Garrett said. 

Garrett's encouraging words were appreciated by fans, and Rosengarten also expressed his appreciation for his NFL counterpart as Garrett tapped on Rosengarten's head, saying, "I got you." NFL's X handle shared a video of their conversation, which can be viewed below. 

Myles Garrett's aforementioned display of humility serves as a reminder of the character needed in the sport. As a result, not only did the defensive end earn fans and cheers, but he also won over Rosengarten, who will always remember his gesture. With that in mind, Rosengarten and his team are now preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, January 12.
