When the NFL's all-time sack leader speaks, it's worth listening.
That was the case Wednesday when Bruce Smith—who's been serving as a guest coach at Cleveland Browns training camp—heaped praise on No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett.
"I don't believe that I was as receptive as a rookie as he is," Smith said, according to ESPN.com's Pat McManamon. "This young man is mature beyond his years. That's a tribute to his humbleness and his upbringing by his parents."
Garrett and Smith have a friendship that dates back to April's draft, when the Hall of Famer gave the former Texas A&M pass-rusher some tips with regard to his burst off the edge.
