Myles Garrett can hardly wait for a chance at success he's never had before

What truly motivates the best of the best? That's a relevant question for Los Angeles Rams fans regarding pass rusher Myles Garrett. It's only logical to question what could carry him to even greater heights after a record-setting season. Or is this a case of another NFL star riding a past peak to a new payday?

Perish the thought. For the past nine seasons, Garrett has been stomping through offensive lines and racking up sacks. He turned pro the same year Sean McVay arrived as Rams head coach. Out of the corner of his eye, Garrett watched McVay breathe new life into the franchise and lead LA to two Super Bowls. Garrett fought hard for 58 wins and 90 losses in Cleveland.

Over that nine-season period, Garrett tasted playoff competition just twice. Is it any wonder he was fine with waiving his no-trade clause to join the Horns?

Garrett has accomplished personal goals. He's earned massive paychecks. Now he wants to discover the ultimate team success. Garrett is here for one reason. He wants to win a Super Bowl.

Myles Garrett is calling out the Seahawks before training camp starts

To be the man, you have to beat the man. And Garrett knows it. In an NFC West Division loaded with top-tier competition, he wasted no time in calling out the defending champion Seattle Seahawks:

"I want the champs. They won it all and I’ve got to see what that’s about. They feel like they’ve got the pieces to run it back, and I feel like we’ve got the pieces to take over.”

While that may seem a rash thing to say before even suiting up for his new team, it illustrates just how confident Garrett is in his surroundings. After a near-decade of mostly losing, it may be that Garrett is rediscovering his love for the game.

Fish swim. Birds fly. Competitors compete. Before 2026, Garrett was competing with himself. But in Los Angeles, he will contribute to something bigger. He already understands what a rare chance he has been given.

What motivates Garrett in 2026 will be something new. This is no longer about individual records or statistics. He has a chance to change the outcome of games that will pave the road to the playoffs. You can bet he will make the most of this opportunity.

Garrett is a poster-child edge rusher. He certainly piles up sacks. But he is a dominating run-stuffer as well. He can set the edge with the best of them. And while he frequently attracts double teams, he has a bag of tricks to come out on top in any scenario. Now he finds himself playing for a team in which every snap matters.

Nobody seems to be discussing Garrett's years of frustration. He wants to win so badly he can taste it. Finally he has the chance to achieve the highest level of success. Will anything stop him this year?

Let's just say woe to any lineman who gets in his way.

As always, thanks for reading.
