I’m in a love-hate relationship with Browns rookie defensive end Myles Garrett.

 

I love the way he plays when he’s healthy. He’s incredible.

 

But I hate the fact he keeps having health issues, forcing him to miss games. In that way, he’s incredibly frustrating.

 

Garrett is now back on the sideline. He’s in concussion protocol and will miss Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings in London.

 

How disappointing is this? So much so that neither her nor the Browns have any idea how he was concussed.

 

Whatever the case, the important thing is that he’s out – again.

 

A team needs its top picks in the NFL Draft, especially the first-rounders, to be good, and to be good and sturdy. They need to be productive on the field, but in order for that to happen, they have to actually be on the field. Imagine that? Garrett, though, can’t stay on the field consistently.

 

Sometimes, players aren’t productive because they lack the talent. That’s certainly not the case here.

 

But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter why a player doesn’t reach his potential. What matters, simply, is that he did not.

 

The end-result is the same.

 

Sure, Garrett could snap out of it and stay healthy for a prolonged period. That would solve everything.

 

But while we’re waiting for that to happen, I’m concerned that the Browns blew it by drafting Garrett. They didn’t get an iron man, like left tackle Joe Thomas, the man he played against in practice – off and on – for 5½ months. They got a flimsy man.

 

For two years straight, perhaps the Browns have used their first draft pick to draft a flimsy man. Remember Corey Coleman?

 

That’s a numbing thought.

 

The Browns have enough problems already. What they don’t need are two more.

 

But that – who – is exactly what they may have, like it or not.
