3 Browns players who could imitate Shohei Ohtani and play both ways

1. Myles Garrett, DE to TE

This one is a little different than the first two. Unlike Odell Beckham, Jr. who continues to show off his ability to kick, or John Johnson with a high school background as a wideout, there’s not any history of Myles Garrett playing tight end. However, he seems to be the kind of player who could do so if asked.

And it’s not as if he would be opposed to it.

Garrett even once tagged Baker Mayfield in a video of him doing an insane 60-inch box jump, saying it was time to get a goal-line package going.

The idea isn’t crazy either. In fact, the Houston Texans used to do this with their own superstar defensive end, J.J. Watt. Like Garrett, Watt is an insane athlete with incredible size. The 6-foot-5, 288-pound Watt had three touchdown receptions in 2014 — all in the red zone.

Garrett is similar in size to Watt at 6-foot-4 and 272-pounds — although that weight might be much higher this season judging by the way Garrett seems to have bulked up.

Of course, Cleveland does have Austin Hooper, David Njoku, and Harrison Bryant on the same team so they don’t have the same need for tight end help that Houston did back in 2014.

But it’s still fun to envision an offensive package that included Garrett going for the goal line fade against some poor safety who wouldn’t be able to handle his combination of speed and power.
