#Steelers coach Mike Tomlin starts his comments w/ the #Browns' Myles Garrett, calling him "a freakish talent," but he notably names S Karl Joseph "who I absolutely loved in draft prep."

The Cleveland Browns have always left a bad taste in Steelers fans’ mouths, especially when thinking of the act Myles Garrett pulled in Week 12 last season.
But there’s no denying it — the Browns star EDGE is, as head coach Mike Tomlin called him, a “freakish talent.”
Since entering the league in 2017, Garrett has taken the league and the edge position by storm. He has amassed 36.5 sacks (34 total pressures), nine forced fumbles, 75 quarterback hits and 119 tackles (35 for loss).
Garrett currently leads all EDGE rushers in sacks (6) and forced fumbles (3).
Karl Joseph, the safety Tomlin coveted in the 2016 NFL Draft, was placed on injured reserve in August with a lingering foot injury he sustained in Oakland last season. Joseph recently suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of last week’s Browns-Colts matchup. He’s currently questionable for Sunday’s game, but it’s still too early to tell whether he’ll be on the field.
Joseph, a former first-rounder (Oakland Raiders), signed with the Browns in free agency this offseason. He has an interception and 23 tackles.
