DeMarcus Ware couldn’t let the young guy take the shine.
Browns defensive end Myles Garrett posted a video of himself hitting a 64-inch box jump while he was working out, which is a truly ridiculous feat of athleticism — especially for a 270-pound human. Garrett got social media stirring after his jump, which prompted Ware, who retired following the 2016 season, to post his own box jump.
Remember, this is a man that has played in 178 NFL games, right in the teeth of the action as a defensive lineman. He battled against offensive linemen, tight ends and running backs. It’s fair to not expect him to jump like he’s training for the NFL Combine.
Not only did he clear the 64-inch mark that Garrett set, he actually jumped 66 inches in his attempt.
I saw my guy @MylesLGarrett jump a 64 inch box and felt inspired. You're a beast man! Old man had to get a running start but we got up there 😂

Ware needed a running start, but it’s still an incredibly impressive feat. Maybe the Browns can call him up for a couple games later this season to see if he’s still got some pass rushing juice left.
