FILE - In this Nov. 14, 2019, file photo, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, left, gets ready to hit Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, second from left, with a helmet during the second half of an NFL football game in Cleveland. The Browns star defensive end can't undo his helmet-swinging attack on Rudolph last season or the six-game NFL suspension that ensued. That damage is done and irreparable. But he isn't going to let the incident define him, and as he prepares for his fourth season, he's not worried about any outside perceptions of him as a person or player. (AP Photo/Ron Schwane, File)
