It's Oct. 31, which means Halloween is here. It's the excuse we all need to dress up as our favorite character, as something funny or as something spooky.
It's fun to get in on the fun, and even some of the most famous athletes decide to take on a new identity with their Halloween costumes.
Some NFL players are known for getting in on the fun each year, like Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett, who tends to take the theme of players he has sacked and give it a scary twist. Others like to use the opportunity to dress up as teammates, which always makes for a great costume.
Here is a look at some of the best costumes around the NFL this year:
Garrett's house has skeletons of quarterbacks from around the league, including his former quarterback, Baker Mayfield.
