Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim and Cleveland Browns football star Myles Garrett are one another’s fiercest cheerleaders.
“As an athlete, same as herself, she’s unapologetically herself, and she always has a smile on her face,” Garrett told NBC Chicago in February 2026. “She loves doing what she does, and you can kind of see her style and her attitude, her personality [in] the way that she performs, and it’s beautiful to watch.”
He continued, “It was extremely fun to watch in person. She just goes out and does it, and I think that’s what you have to do as an athlete. You can’t be hesitant, you can’t give 90 percent. When it’s time for her to get into that mode, she gives 100 percent [and] she gives everything to it and you see the results play out.”
Garrett even traveled across the globe to watch Kim compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, where she qualified for the women’s snowboard halfpipe event.
