Whenever Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett makes his way to the golf course, he will be challenging Oscar-nominated actor Mark Wahlberg.

During an interview with Boardroom Talks, Garrett praised Wahlberg’s work ethic. He promised that he will eventually go after him whenever he hits the links. The two are both equity partners of Municipal Sports Gear, so Garrett has gotten to know Wahlberg.

“He works his behind off like he has nothing,” praised Garrett. “That’s how we should all carry ourselves. Also, my man loves golf. If anyone didn’t know, he is obsessed and competitive as hell. Once I get into the golf game, he’ll be the first guy I go after.”
