Myles Garrett Nominated For NFL’s Man Of The Year 1 Year After Helmet Attack

Myles Garrett has done a complete 180 in 2020 — the Cleveland Browns superstar has been nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year … just one year after his helmet-swinging attack.

The league released its list of 32 finalists for each team on Thursday … with the 24-year-old getting the nod for the Orange and Brown.

Of course, Garrett has been actively involved in the community since entering the NFL in 2017 — from working alongside the Chris Long Foundation to bring clean water to East African communities to helping a man who lost his eye at a Cleveland protest in May.

Garrett has vowed to put his infamous 2019 incident with Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph behind him … calling his 6-game ban a “small bump in the road” back in July.

Now, the defensive end can join names like J.J. Watt, Calais Campbell, Eli Manning and Drew Brees … who have received the honor for excellence off the field.

Other nominees for 2020 include names like Russell Wilson, Travis Kelce, Devin McCourty and Andrew Whitworth.
