Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Myles Garrett released a hype video on social media ahead of his highly anticipated 2026 season debut, a move that has generated considerable buzz among fans. The video, captioned "Loading…", offers a glimpse into Garrett's transition to his new team and highlights some of his new teammates.
The cinematic production begins with imagery from his former home, Huntington Bank Field, referencing his trade to the Rams. A newspaper clipping depicting the trade is shown before transitioning to Garrett in his new Rams uniform. The video then shifts to a montage of offensive and defensive highlights featuring key Rams players.
Among the players featured are reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford throwing a touchdown pass, Davante Adams, and Puka Nacua making a notable catch. The defensive side of the ball is represented by highlights of safety Quentin Lake, a sack by Byron Young, and a forced fumble by Nate Landman. The video also includes a cameo from three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, who recently came out of retirement, pointing to his ring finger.
Garrett's debut with the Rams comes three months after the trade that sent him to Los Angeles. In the previous season, he set an NFL single-season record with 23 sacks and generated 79 pressures. The acquisition of Garrett, along with Donald's return, signals a significant strengthening of the Rams' defense. The team also bolstered its secondary by acquiring cornerback Trent McDuffie in March and signing Jaylen Watson, who previously played with McDuffie for four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Rams are scheduled to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. The game is set to kick off on Friday at 10:35 a.m. local time, which will be Thursday at 5:35 p.m. Pacific Time.
