COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Myles Garrett is Courtney Brown, and the Browns must hope the comparison only goes so far.
They'd start with the requisite massive frame - around 6-5, 270 pounds. Then, they'd give him blazing speed - in the 4.5-second range for 40 yards - almost unheard of for a man that size.
That was the start of a Mary Kay Cabot story on Brown in April of 2000, the week before the Browns made the Penn State defensive end the No. 1 choice in the NFL Draft. The idea then was that Brown was the ideal NFL player.
