Myles Garrett asks Cowboys to trade up and draft him

[gmf1369]

Top NFL Draft prospect Myles Garrett has made a video plea to his hometown team, the Cowboys, to trade up and select him in April’s NFL Draft.

On an ESPN.com video released Friday, Garrett calls Cowboys owner Jerry Jones by name, saying he’s asking Jones and Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett to select him.

“I’m speaking to you, Jerry,” Garrett says on the video. “Mr. [Jason] Garrett, make it happen. Dak Prescott is leading our team right now. I need you to take Tony Romo, take a couple picks, and give them to Cleveland so you can pick me up, please. I’d love to play in Dallas. Let’s make it happen.”

Myles Garrett grew up in Arlington, where the Cowboys play. After three years at Texas A&M he’s considered one of the top prospects in this year’s draft and, based on his words, believes the Browns might take him with the No. 1 overall pick.

It’s a rather harmless video, and Garrett is smiling throughout. But it’s something the Browns and other front offices holding early draft picks may discuss with Garrett in upcoming weeks.

Garrett previously said he prefers to play somewhere warm, because most people do, but later said it didn’t matter where he ended up.

ESPN hires announcers, not reporters. A reporter would have informed us what position he plays (for those who really care).
How unprofessional.

True.

Meanwhile, an elite prospect just alienated 31 front offices.

Yeah, you're right.
If he was that good, the Jets wouldn't draft him anyhow.

This young man got some bad advice from someone. Or he's just not very bright. Social media strikes again.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I look at it as a kid wanting to play for the team he grew up rooting for. Good for him and I'm sure the powers to be won't hold it against him on draft day.

I understand that POV. But he'd better put on his happy face on April 27th for the Cleveland Browns. That's where he's most likely going #1 overall.

reportedly, the kid is the goods.. those wringing their hands over his playful request might not want to lose any sleep over any of this..

clearly garrett isn't..

Well he DID go to Texas A&M.
Draw your own conclusions.

No way would the Cowboys trade up to the #1 pick. Although they have Romo as a bargaining chip.

i remember you're from the dallas area.. have you heard if jones still holding out hope romo can win the job back??

i heard some quotes from him fairly recently that made it sound like romo can still be the guy for the cowboys..

I think he has finally decided to listen to what everyone in his organization has told him that Dak is the guy. Problem he has is Romo is his boy.
