Myles Garrett Quotes

I'm very different on the court than outside.

I'm not the same person on the court. I'm different when I'm off the court. Off the court, I don't need to be aggressive or anything.

I would say I'm more traditional than I am superstitious. I don't, for example, have to do things ritually before the game in order to feel comfortable going to the game. But I don't think I'm naturally a football player. I don't have that grit and that killer instinct.

I think that's one of the first things you'd say if you met me: that I am just nice and smiley. And that's how I might appear when I'm not competing. But I'm totally different when it comes to sport. It's just something that seems to be within me. It's not external or visual. But it's within me.

Some people seem to think football is like theatre and that everyone has to play the good guy. But I think that you transform when you cross the white line: you're not the same person as off it.

I wouldn't say I've changed at all. A lot of people will keep saying I'm a different person, especially when I go across those white lines. I think it's just the hunger and desire and passion I've got for the game.

If any player in the world tells you he doesn't care about what the opponents do, he is lying.

Every moment, every practice, every game, everywhere; I just love competing. Competition is in my DNA.

It's quite strange, because off the field I'm quite shy, quiet, prefer to watch a bit of TV at home, but get me on the cricket field I like it all kicking off.

I've always been shy; it's just that I transform on the pitch. I'm a different person. Off the pitch, I'm another person. That's how it has to be.

I get nervous for any competition. I also get really competitive.

I love playing under pressure. In fact, if there's no pressure, then I'm not in the perfect zone.

A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain.

Sledging makes things interesting. There are no robots playing. They are humans who want to perform well for the country. So when stakes are so high, emotions will take over. Sometimes sledging gets the best out of you.

Even if we're in fifth place in September, I get butterflies before a game. I'm nervous.

If we lose games, and I don't score a lot, they gonna say I'm not scoring enough.

One of my favourite things to do is compete for a crowd. It's just really fun for me.

I know for me, when I'm on the court I'm totally different than when I'm off of the court.

It takes a lot of nerves to be a sports entertainer and to be in front of those big crowds.

When I go in and fight, I'm not the same guy who is sitting in front of you, who is meeting the fans or anything like that. It's like a split personality.

It is a player's league until you lose.

I believe that I am a different person off the pitch than I am on it. On the pitch, I am a bit louder, and off the pitch, I am quieter.

No, I don't get nervous when I play basketball.

That competitive nature comes out when I feel like I'm playing bad and when things aren't going right.

We all sign up where you might get hurt. That's what makes this league a little bit different than any other in professional sports.
