Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett says he just got sucker punched in the face by a “fan” who asked him for a picture … and now he’s clowning the attacker on social media.
Garrett — who’s 6’4″, 272 lbs — says he was inside of his car Wednesday when the “fan” flagged him down and “hopped out his car to take a picture with me.”
“I cracked the window enough for the camera to get my face,” Garrett says … but when the guy got close, he socked Myles right in the face.
23-year-old Garrett — the #1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft — didn’t seem fazed one bit … comparing the punch to a “pillow tap.”
We reached out to police in Cleveland and nearby areas but so far, no signs of a report being filed.
Instead, Garrett is taunting the guy on social media … “Hm, put your legs into it might have actually made me flinch.”
Garrett says he didn’t retaliate because he knows that would make him a prime target for a lawsuit.
The Browns are on a bye week — so it’s unclear if the incident even took place in Cleveland, but we’re working on it.
Garrett is a monster in the NFL … he’s widely considered one of the best pass rushers in the game and he already has 9 sacks in the 2019 season.
