BROWNS' MYLES GARRETT HAS HEARTWARMING MOMENT WITH RAVENS ROOKIE AFTER JERSEY SWAP ASK

Belichick led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles along with Brady, who recently became a minority owner of the Raiders. He was there through the 2023 season before the two sides mutually parted ways.

Belichick was out of the league in 2024 after no team made him their head coach. He interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons but failed to win the sweepstakes. He spent the season as an analyst before making the surprising move to take the Tar Heels gig.

He is 302-165 as a head coach between the Patriots and Cleveland Browns.

"I know I’m a nobody but if I could get that jersey after?" Rosengarten asked Garrett.

Garrett responded kindly.

"Hey, you’re in the league, y’all winning games, y’all looking great, you ain’t never a nobody," Garrett told Rosengarten. "I got you."

Rosengarten said he appreciated Garrett’s gesture.

The two players are on the opposite sides of the popularity spectrum.

Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2017 draft, won the Defensive Player of the Year last season and is angling to win the award for the second straight time. Rosengarten was the Ravens’ second-round pick in the 2024 draft. He has started in 14 of the 17 games he appeared in this season.

Rosengarten talked about the moment on Wednesday, according to the team’s website.

"It was just me and him walking after Derrick's big run for a touchdown. I was like, 'He's right next to me. Why not? No one else is around.' Actually, the whole world saw it," he said, adding that he wished he would have called himself a rookie instead of a "nobody."

The Ravens will play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
