Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett showed off his cross-sport skills warming up with the Cleveland Cavaliers before a Summer League game. Garrett showed up to Summer League on Sunday with a full Cavaliers uniform on, then worked out with the team before their game. Garrett showed off for the fans in Las Vegas, throwing down a huge two-handed jam during warmups.

Cleveland’s NFL and NBA teams might both be interested in pursuing Garrett as a free agent in the future after his impromptu workout with the team on Sunday. Garrett’s love of basketball is well known after his appearance in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game last year, but he might be the first NFL player to run drills with a pro team before a game.

The former star out of Texas A&M has made a name for himself on the football field as a dominant physical threat, but his ability to leap on a basketball court might be just as amazing given his size.

Garrett’s athleticism on a basketball court saw another video shared on social media from a more involved workout he participated in. Garrett shared a video of himself dunking a windmill dunk from a standing position with no running start — a monstrous feat for the 6-foot-4, 272 pound NFL star. The video contained additional highlights of Garrett on the court, making shots and just generally being surprisingly good at basketball.

Garrett’s athleticism shown at 2017 NFL Scouting Combine

Garrett posted a 41-inch vertical leap at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine, so freakish displays of athleticism from him are nothing new for those who’ve seen him in action. He also ran a 4.64 40-yard dash time. His dominant performance at the Scouting Combine was a big reason the Cleveland Browns decided to pick him with the No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft.

He racked up 16 sacks this season for the Cleveland Browns and continues to be an unblockable force for them, year in, year out. During every year of his NFL career thus far except for one, he’s posted double digit sacks. Garrett has tallied 58.5 career sacks for his career, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
