Myles Garrett’s mom Audrey: The untold story of why COVID-19 really sacked him, insight into the helmet incident, and more
Updated 2:18 PM;
CLEVELAND, Ohio Audrey Garrett will have a front-row seat at the NFL Draft Friday night when her son Myles takes center stage to announce the Browns’ second-round pick just like she has for every big event in his life.
In the last year and a half alone, she’s been there for him through the helmet incident, his blockbuster $125 million contract extension from the Browns last offseason, a scary bout with COVID-19, and more.
But Myles isn’t the only world-class athlete Audrey has reared. A former college track and field star herself, she has also raised Garrett’s older brother Sean Williams, a 2007 first-round pick of the New Jersey Nets; and Garrett’s older sister Brea, the 2014 NCAA champion in the weight throw from Texas A&M. She also has stepdaughter Tiffanie Garrett, who’s like one of her own.

The last day of the meet started with a dominant win from Oregon sophomore Cole Hocker and continued with a historic double victory in Saturday’s distance events. Related Story
After breaking the previous collegiate record with his teammate Cooper Teare in February, Hocker didn’t leave anything on the table in his quest to win the NCAA mile crown.
By the bell lap, the race was Hocker’s as he broke away from the field with every step in the final 200 meters, reaching the homestretch clear of any competition.
