Rams' Kobie Turner Says Myles Garrett Can 'Do Things No One Else Can'

Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Myles Garrett has made his presence known during training camp. While his teammates are learning all they can from the Reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett is also getting acclimated to the culture he is now in.

Safety Quentin Lake and linebacker Byron Young have taken to seeing how Garrett trains his body and mind, while defensive tackle Kobie Turner has come to the realization that he won't be able to do what the new Rams defender can do.

Turner was speaking to the media about what the arrival of Garrett can do to provide more pass rush opportunities for himself and the defense, but he also understands how the 23-sack leader is on a different level with certain things in his pass rush arsenal.

"Yeah, honestly, I'm just continuing to I guess understand what it is that he does. There's some things, you know,  I heard it all rookie year with AD where it's like, 'All right, there's some things that he can do that, you know, nobody else can really do,'" Turner said.

Turner has become a solid pass rusher in his own right, as he brought in seven sacks in 2025. He also posted a 14 percent pass rush win rate, which ranked fifth among defensive tackles.

Pass rush win rate is where the defender can get past whatever offensive player they are matched up with to get to the quarterback. Having a strong pass rush win rate is integral to defensive linemen, edge rushers, and linebackers.

Turner understands that Garrett is a different type of player, but he has also picked up many pass rush techniques. 

"There's some things that Miles can do that nobody else can really do. Uh but, you know, I've been able to appreciate some of the simplicity of a lot of his rushes, right? Like he's just beating you off the snap. He's getting to his rip and then he's able to work at the top of the rush and he works at the top of the rush really well," Turner said. 

Garrett'a arrival can do a lot for an already potent Rams defense. Turner isn't the only player who will benefit. 

As stated above, Young is already picking Garrett's ear on how to improve his own technique. Young had his own breakout season in 2025, securing 12 sacks en route to a Pro Bowl nod.

That is not to mention defensive linemen Braden Fiske and Poona Ford, linebacker Nate Landman, and run-stopping cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson.

Garrett's arrival should have a ripple effect that will impact many players, but it also depends on how defensive coordinator Chris Shula schemes things up. Despite being the Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett is entering a brand-new system.

Shula was retained by the Rams after being a head coach candidate in 2026. While Young, Fiske, and Turner are all returning veterans in the system, Garrett is still new.

That is not to say he will not be able to learn how the Rams run things, but he will still be a new player in a new system. There could be some growing pains within that system, no matter how excellent a player Garrett is. 

Regardless, Turner and many others stand to learn a lot from now being paired with the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
