With Myles Garrett projected to be the #1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, we spoke with his mom, Audrey, about how the family is getting ready for the biggest day of his life!

NOTE: Garrett's half-brother is ex-NBA player Sean Williams ... and Audrey says the family (including Myles) is drawing off of Sean's experience as a pro athlete to help navigate through the process.

It's no secret Sean got into some trouble with the law during his playing days and Audrey says he's mentoring Myles to make sure he learns the lessons from Sean's mistakes.

Tell us about Sean. Is he giving Myles advice?

"He gives him life lessons. He tells Myles ‘I should’ve listened to these people back then. Make sure you do.’ He tells him to make sure he knows what he’s doing and understand there will be long-term consequences."

What do you think about Myles possibly getting drafted by Cleveland with the #1 overall pick?

"I lived there for 2 years. I have family that lives there. If that’s where we go, that’s where we go."

What is Myles’ first big purchase going to be?

"Probably a car … he’s still driving the Volvo we bought him back in college."

"But he really doesn’t think about the money. He plans on helping out a lot and trying to lay the groundwork that will benefit people in need. He’s highly blessed and talented, and he has a heart of service. That’s how he’s always been."

Do you still plan to work full time after Myles gets drafted?

Mark Zuckerberg hit the gym hard Friday morning with his personal trainer ... his 16-month-old daughter, Maxima ... and she kicked his ass pretty good!

The Facebook honcho strapped Max (who we're guessing weighs about 25 pounds?) to his back for a set of pull-ups (he got 5) and some push-ups (he got 14).

Zuck commented, "As soon as I finish she yells 'More! More!' Easily the most demanding trainer I've ever had."

Dr. Dre and Magic Johnson are teaming up with some of the most powerful people in sports, entertainment and fashion ... to bring the Olympics to L.A. in 2024.

Mike Hall -- one of the most famous endurance cyclists in the world -- died early Friday morning after he was hit by a car during a race in Australia.

The 35-year-old was competing in the Indian Pacific Wheel Race from Perth to Sydney when the collision occurred near the end of the 3,300 mile race.

Hall was in 2nd place during the race when the crash occurred around 6:20 AM on the Monaro Highway.

Event organizers immediately canceled the race following the incident.

We know this ... "WAGS" star Nicole Williams and her hot model girlfriends won't come home with many tan lines -- her bachelorette party is tops optional.

Nicole, who's marrying ex-NFL star Larry English, is over in Hawaii with her crew (including Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson) and when they took to the high seas Thursday ... some bikini tops dropped.

Models Shanina Shaik, Angelica Lee and Sharina Gutierrez and many more are on hand.

Here's proof the Russians do more for fun than just (allegedly) sabotaging democracy ... Sergey Kovalev firing a SICK gold-plated Tommy gun during a trip to a famous Russian weapons museum.

Krusher is from Kopeysk (where you can get a 5 star hotel for $75 a night, book now), but jaunted over to the Arsenal Museum of the Zlatoust Weapons plant and got some action in.

The weapon looks pretty sick, and although Sergey struggles at first, he manages to get a shot in after some help from the staff.

BTW ... all this happened indoors, so hopefully they were blanks. But, it's Russia, so you never know.

UPDATE -- We're told the gun isn't a traditional "Tommy Gun" but rather a Russian PPSh-41 ... essentially the Russian version of the Tommy Gun.

Maybe Chris Weidman knows something we don't ... but the UFC star says the highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight is "100%" going down.

Weidman appeared on "MMA Report with Mike 'Gunz' Gunzelman" and said his information about the fight is "a fact."

Of course, Dana White has disagreed the last few times we've seen him out -- while he's said he wants the fight to happen, the UFC honcho has said the 2 sides are insanely far apart when it comes to money. But maybe something's changed.

Still, Weidman seems very confident and explained why he truly believes Mayweather could be in for a VERY painful night.

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall almost got TRUCKED by an elephant in Mozambique ... and the whole thing was caught on video.

The NFL star is on safari in Africa with fellow football players William Gay, Duke Ihenacho, Omar Bolden, Mike Adams and more.

During a day out in the bush, the gang came across a large African elephant -- which was beautiful and majestic -- until it started to charge!!!

Don't worry, it chilled out ... but Marshall was shook.

The gang soldiered on and encountered a LION later in the safari.

No one was eaten in the making of these videos.

Detroit Pistons guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was arrested early Wednesday morning for DUI ... hours after the Pistons lost ANOTHER game.

24-year-old Caldwell-Pope was initially pulled over in Auburn Hills, Michigan at 2:50 AM for going 45 in a 25 -- but during the stop, cops say they could smell the alcohol on Kentavious.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports, KCP admitted to having 2 drinks of Hennessey at a bar earlier in the evening.

The officer administered field sobriety tests -- KCP didn't do great -- and he was arrested for DUI. After he was taken to a nearby station, Kentavious took a breathalyzer test -- and blew a .08.

Cops say the NBA player was "very cooperative."

Terrell Suggs says he's CERTAIN Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed by NFL teams over his national anthem protest ... but tells TMZ Sports he's offered his full support to the QB.

Ochocinco Island??? More like 3 Mile Island.

Chad Johnson called out ATL Falcons star Mohamed Sanu in a 1-on-1 coverage drill ... bragging that he could lock up the wide receiver like he was Patrick Peterson.

Problem is ... when they took it to the field, SANU LIT HIM UP LIKE A XMAS TREE!!!

By the way, props to Chad who looked damn good for a retired 39-year-old wide out who just gorged on McDonald's before the workout.

There were other NFL guys out there too, including Melvin Ingram and D.J. Swearinger ... and even they were impressed with the old guy.

Good news for LeBron James ... Nelly totally gets why NBA teams are resting their marquee players, saying the guys are playing a ton of minutes and need a break sometimes.

Bad news for Lebron James ... Nelly ain't with NBA teams resting their marquee players, saying he'd be super bummed if he took his son to a game, and the big stars were missing.

Nelly said both things when he was out at LAX, and it's clear the competitive athlete in him is having a vicious battle with the loving dad in him.

If Jon Jones beats Daniel Cormier, he'll solidify his spot as the greatest UFC fighter of all time ... above Anderson Silva ... so says Alan Jouban.

In fact, Jouban says Jones already has a more impressive resume than Silva.

"When you look at the guy that Jon Jones has beat in comparison to the guys that Anderson Silva has beat, Jon Jones has beaten way tougher guys."

Jon's top victories include ... Daniel Cormier, Glover Teixeira, Vitor Belfort, Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida, Rampage Jackson and Shogun Rua.

Silva's top victories include ... Stephan Bonnar, Vitor Belfort, Forrest Griffin, Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson.

Bottom line ... Jouban says he wants to see Jones stay clean and compete for a long, long time.

The recent string of celeb burglary victims -- Nicki Minaj, Alanis Morissette, Yasiel Puig and Emmy Rossum -- might have been hit by Crips ... according to a report.

Here's how it allegedly goes down -- the Crips ditch their gang attire and hop into luxury whips to blend into the high-end communities they're targeting. According to the AP ... the burglars show up to fancy cribs and look for signs it's empty. They ring the doorbell and if no one answers, they break in.

LAPD refers to it as "flocking" because gang members flock to these neighborhoods like birds.

Our law enforcement sources say it's not necessarily ALL Crips pulling these heists, but cops definitely suspect they're involved in some of them. Also, they're NOT only targeting celeb homes ... they just so happen to stumble upon them in certain glitzy neighborhoods.

It's good to be a professional athlete ... at least judging by the beach pics of their reality star wives and girlfriends!!

A bunch of the women from the "WAGS" show flew to Hawaii for Nicole Williams' bachelorette party -- as she gears up for her wedding to ex-NFL linebacker Larry English.

Nicole was joined by supermodel Shanina Shaik -- along with her "WAGS" co-stars Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson. Models Sharina Gutierrez, Tamie Tran and Angelica Lee were also on hand.

They tanned, they drank ... they took butt selfies.
