Myles Garrett pens heartfelt tribute to tacos in TAMU farewell

You've seen one goodbye letter from an NFL draft prospect to his college fan base, you've seen them all, right?

"Thanks to everyone. I'll always be a (insert school mascot here). See you in the NFL."

Leave it to Myles Garrett, the potential No. 1 pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, to go way off the script. The Texas A&M defensive end is an interesting character along with being an elite football talent, and he added to the intrigue Thursday in penning a lengthy sign-off to Texas A&M fans in The Players' Tribune. What was different about it? How about a College Station taco joint coming along for Garrett's NFL ride?

"I would be remiss if I didn't mention something else I'll miss deeply: Fuego, the finest taco dispensary on the planet," Garrett wrote. "Those tacos were always there for me when I needed them most. Wherever I end up next, I will do whatever I can to make sure that Fuego opens a franchise in that city. This is something that is very important to me."

Imagine that: in acquiring perhaps the most talented pass rusher in the draft, an NFL club might also be adding a taco franchisee.
