Myles Garrett has admitted he is lucky to be alive after knocking over his Porsche in a car accident this week.
He was reportedly traveling 65 mph on a road with a speed limit of 45 mph when his car crashed Monday while trying to hit an animal, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries.
During his speech on Friday, Garrett shared how he feels after the accident.
“Definitely grateful to be here, with what I saw right after, the photos. It was an amazing event and I’m just thankful to be alive,” he said. “I was able to have so much of my family and my support system around me, and just keep me locked up and focus on watching from day to day.”
He is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Falcons with shoulder and biceps strains, but insisted he was ready to play for the Browns.
“If it were up to me, I’d love to go,” he said. “That’s just my competitive spirit and my nature.
“Physically we have to judge that in the game. That’s just a decision we’ll make a little closer to game time.”
