Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett stands behind claims Mason Rudolph used racial slur in interview

Myles Garrett sat down with Mina Kimes for ESPN’s Outside The Lines discussing the events that took place on November 14, 2019, when the Cleveland Browns took on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Myles Garrett stands behind his original claims that Mason Rudolph used a racial slur that fateful night three months ago. With eight seconds remaining until the Cleveland Browns finally knock off the Steelers, Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph began pulling at each other’s helmets after the whistle.

Garrett was able to keep his helmet on while ripping off Rudolph’s. He initially walked away, then the incident happened.

Mason Rudolph comes storming back into Garrett’s face, and that was all she wrote for Garrett’s promising third season. Garrett swinging a helmet towards Rudolph’s head seemed so out of character for him, and the reasons why he took the swing have resurfaced.

Myles Garrett sat down with Mina Kimes of ESPN and described what exactly transpired between the lines of the field that us fans would never know. When asked what was said to him, Garrett sighs, and then states, “He called me the n-word. He called me a stupid n-word.”

Garrett is not backing down from his claims that leaked during his appeal, Mason Rudolph used a racial slur and that is what made him see red. Garrett was sure to add “I did not want to try to use it as an excuse for my actions,” when asked why he did not want his claim leak to the public.

Myles Garrett knows that no matter what was said, he cannot use a helmet as a weapon. However, he is making sure his side of the story is on the record. He doubled-down on these claims, and we are yet to hear a rebuttal from Mason Rudolph.

We may never know what truly happened between those two the night of November 14, 2019. We will, however, hear even more from Myles Garrett as the full interview with Mina Kimes airs on ESPN.
