It’s been 17 days since Myles Garrett was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, and he’s already feeling the confidence that Sean McVay has instilled across the locker room.
Appearing alongside Andrew Whitworth as the third act of interviews during New Heights’ live show in Los Angeles this past Monday, Garrett was asked by Whitworth about his initial takeaway of being a Ram.

“Well, first I’ll say, they were telling me LA isn’t a football town, but the reception we’ve been getting is amazing, so thank you,” Garret said when responding to Whitworth.
“Secondly, the environment in that building is second to none. The way those guys rally around each other, the chemistry that they have, the work ethic, you see it every day, and they know exactly who they are and know what their expectations are for this year. They’re locked and loaded.”

The team answered those questions by fixing the main concern that lied withint their secondary.
On March 4, the team struck a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, agreeing to send the 29th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft over to them in exchange for two-time All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. Five days later, the team made another move to bolster their secondary by signing McDuffie’s former counterpart, Jaylen Watson to a three-year $51 million deal, keeping the cornerback tandem together for their fifth straight season.
With all the moves the Rams have made, Garret said: “They looked at me as just another bullet in the gun, and we’re ready to go.”
