Cleveland Browns edge Myles Garrett is excited that Aaron Rodgers is joining the AFC North for one particular reason.

"I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard," Garrett told reporters at Browns minicamp, including ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi.

Garrett famously decorated the front lawn of his house for Halloween with the headstones of quarterbacks he's sacked. He also showed up to a 2021 game in a grim reaper costume with the names of every passer he'd taken down to that point.

The six-time All-Pro has never sacked Rodgers in his career. They've only matched up once, when Rodgers was a member of the Green Bay Packers. Garrett registered one QB hit versus the four-time MVP.

Rodgers officially signed with the Steelers earlier this month after being linked to Pittsburgh throughout the offseason. The 41-year-old has been sacked an NFL-record 571 times in his career.

Garrett became the youngest player to achieve 100 career sacks last season and racked up at least 14 sacks for the fourth straight campaign in 2024.

The Browns and Steelers play in Weeks 6 and 17 this season.
