During the Week 18 victory over the Browns, the right tackle got a good look at Garrett up close.
Seeking a memento, he asked: “I know I’m a nobody, but if I could get that jersey after?"

"Respect your opponents, the game, and yourself," a third posted.
"This was great. Reminding us of the beauty of sports," commented a fourth.
Garrett is entering the final two years of his contract and seeking assurances from the Browns that the team can be competitive.
“I’m not trying to rebuild,” Garrett said on Friday. “I’m trying to win right now. And I want that to be apparent when the season is over and we have those discussions.
"I want them to be able to illuminate, illustrate that for me so that can be something I can see in the near future.”
Browns General Manager Andrew Berry insists he expects the future Hall of Famer to retire in Cleveland.
“In terms of Myles, my anticipation and expectation is that he’ll have a direct ticket from Cleveland to Canton at the end of this year and I expect him to be here and retire a Brown, quite frankly,” Berry said
The Browns will struggle to remain competitive while they are burdened by Deshaun Watson's contract.
The $230 million, fully-guaranteed contract has set the franchise back years.
