Marcus Gilbert 'ready for the battle' against Myles Garrett

It was a natural question to pose to Myles Garrett, and the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft provided a predictable answer. Shortly after being drafted, Garrett was asked which NFL quarterback he’d like to sack the most. His answer: Ben Roethlisberger.

The rookie defensive end’s response caught the attention of the Steelers employees who are assigned the task of protecting Roethlisberger, most notably right tackle Marcus Gilbert, who responded to Garrett over Twitter: “See you 9/10 big fella.”

The season opener might be 3½ months away, but Gilbert is already preparing for the challenge of facing Garrett.
