"I've learned so much from Myles. ... He's been like a big brother to me." —Will Anderson Jr. to @saltersl on his offse Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Anderson said he learned extensively from Garrett during their offseason sessions. Their work has included body care, position-specific training and pass-rush technique.

Why it matters: The mentorship gives Anderson direct access to one of the NFL's most productive pass rushers. It also extends Garrett's influence beyond his new surroundings in Los Angeles.

By the numbers: Anderson enters 2026 with 30 career sacks. Garrett set the NFL single-season record with 23 in 2025.

What to watch: Anderson's early-season pass-rush production will show how the offseason work translates.
