News - Trent Williams Expresses Regret Over Myles Garrett's Move to the Rams

Trent Williams did not hide his disappointment when discussing Myles Garrett's trade to the Los Angeles Rams. "Like everyone else," Williams began with multiple pauses and a nervous chuckle, "it sucks for those outside Rams country." The candid responses continued as he addressed the insight shared by his offensive line coach Chris Foerster. Foerster had analyzed Garrett’s moves and advised a step-by-step approach to counter him. Upon hearing this, Williams chuckled once more and echoed his coach's sentiment, emphasizing the daunting task of facing Garrett. At 30, Myles Garrett has already become a legendary figure in the NFL, recognized twice as the Defensive Player of the Year and five times as an All-Pro player. In his last encounter with Garrett, during a game between the 49ers and Cleveland, Williams witnessed firsthand Garrett’s prowess as he recorded a sack and five tackles despite Cleveland’s 26-8 loss. Williams admitted, "At the end of the day, you still have to go out there and play. It’s daunting, given he’s still young and improving. His performance last season was intimidating." Last season saw Garrett shatter the NFL sack record with 23 sacks, winning his second Defensive Player of the Year accolade. Looking ahead, Williams expressed his anticipation with caution: "I’m never prepared to see the same player; I know our paths cross in Week 1 in Australia. He’s likely to be a notch better than when I last faced him." With such greatness on the field, Garrett remains a formidable challenge for any opponent.
