Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett cited Antonio Smith's 2013 suspension as a possible model for his discipline from the league for his role in last Thursday night's brawl against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN. Garrett was in New York City to meet with the NFL.

Garrett is currently suspended indefinitely for hitting Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with a helmet in the closing moments of the Browns' 21–7 victory. Garrett yanked Rudolph's helmet in the altercation, swung it and made some physical contact. Rudolph was not injured in the scuffle.

Rudolph was not suspended by the NFL for his involvement.
