Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is putting more roots down in the Cleveland area, as he officially purchased a minority stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Not only is Garrett a minority owner, but the four-time Pro Bowler will also act as an official brand ambassador for the team.
“As a leader on and off the field, Myles has become a Cleveland icon and shares in our organization's commitment to being a transformative force for good across the region,” Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said in a statement. “We are honored to welcome this long-time friend of the team as our new partner and investor.
“Myles’ passion and commitment to the city he loves will allow us to reach new communities and continue to build the successful future of this franchise.”
