How Myles Garrett developed the flexibility and upper-body bend to draw comparisons to Von Miller

Myles Garrett is a pass-rushing Gumby in size-17 cleats.

The Browns’ defensive end possesses brute strength and a cork-out-of-the-champagne-bottle first step. That’s not what separates the rookie, however, from many edge rushers.

His spine is seemingly made from elastic. Garrett, who registered two sacks in his regular-season debut last Sunday, can contort his upper body while moving at a high rate of speed, allowing him to get around and, more important, under blocks.

Broncos edge rusher Von Miller is considered the best in the NFL at coming off the edge and getting low like a short-track speed skater negotiating a turn.
