The Detroit Lions’ pursuit of Myles Garrett has taken an intriguing turn. According to sources close to the situation, Garrett has one non-negotiable condition that must be met before he’ll consider joining the Lions.
And it’s not what you think.
Garrett, the All-Pro defensive end, is reportedly seeking a guarantee that the Lions will make a significant investment in their defensive line coaching staff. Specifically, he wants the team to hire a renowned defensive line coach who can help him unlock his full potential.
But here’s the kicker: Garrett has a specific coach in mind, and it’s none other than the legendary defensive line coach, Rod Marinelli.
Yes, you read that right. Myles Garrett wants the Lions to hire Rod Marinelli, the same coach who helped develop Warren Sapp and Simeon Rice into Hall of Famers during his tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It’s a bold move, but one that could pay huge dividends for the Lions. With Marinelli at the helm, Garrett would have the guidance and expertise he needs to take his game to the next level.
The question is, will the Lions be willing to meet Garrett’s condition? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the pursuit of Myles Garrett just got a whole lot more interesting.
