Myles Garrett continues to be one of the NFL's finest players. Despite the Cleveland Browns having yet another slow start, Garrett has been everywhere in their first two games of the season.

The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has 3.5 sacks through two games and six tackles for loss. And while he's been in headlines for his play, he made noteworthy news on Monday following an announcement from Tom Brady.

Brady announced Monday that he would be competing in a flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia.

"Tom Brady is coming out of retirement, sort of, to join Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, CeeDee Lamb, Maxx Crosby, Rob Gronkowski, Sauce Gardner Myles Garrett and others for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic - a competitive flag football tournament taking place during Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia on March 21, 2026," Adam Schefter posted on X. "It will be Brady's first football action since retiring three years ago. Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan will be coaching the three teams."

"It felt like the perfect time for me to hit the field again and get my competitive juices flowing," Brady said Monday via Ryan McFadded of ESPN.

Garrett is a physical freak, so seeing him play on both sides of the ball in a flag football setting will be very fun. Until then, he and the Browns are looking to get their first win after an 0-2 start to the 2025 season. They'll take on the Green Bay Packers in Cleveland in Week 3.
