Patriots Host Karon Prunty for Pre-Draft Visit

0:00It's April 8th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything in NFL. Cleveland Brown's defensive-and-miles Garrett is sitting out the start of the team's voluntary off-season program. This comes right after he smashed the single-season sack record with 23 sacks last year. At 30 years old, he's fresh off a contract tweak and prefers his own training setup away from the facility. It's not the first time Garrett has done this. He focuses on personalized workouts during the off-months, keeping that edge sharp without the team grind early on. Head coach Jim Monkin gets it completely. He calls the sessions optional and says while every coach wants full attendance for building connections and learning schemes, the real work can happen elsewhere. Monkin stresses making the program so good players choose to show up for the team vibe. Garrett dominated with 33 tackles for loss and 39 quarterback hits in 2025, proving he's still a lead. As the off-season rolls on, expect Garrett to link up later, dialed in for another big year
