Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is now a minority owner of an NBA franchise.

The 27-year-old has purchased a minority stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition to his ownership role, he will be 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 chairman and governor Dan Gilbert said in a statement.

Besides playing professional football, Garrett is also an avid basketball player, participating in the 2022 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game held in Cleveland.

"I have admired the Cavaliers organization's hard work, tenacity and dedication to the community since my early days in Cleveland," the four-time Pro Bowl selection declared.

The exact percentage acquired by Garrett was not disclosed. He has attended some Cavaliers games in the past, and with him on board as a minority owner, he could be spotted more frequently at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

The Browns selected the former Texas A&M as the first overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.

The two-time First Team All-Pro selection has an annual average pay of $25 million based on the five-year, $125 million contract extension he signed to remain with the Browns in 2020.
