Godfrey Clarence Myles (September 22, 1968 – June 10, 2011) was an American football linebacker in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the University of Florida.
Myles attended Miami Carol City High School in Miami Gardens, where he was an All-County linebacker and helped the football team reach the section 4-5A championship game in 1986. He also ran the 100-meter, 200-meter and anchored the 400-meter relay team.
As a junior, he won the 100 and 200 county and district competitions and also finished second in the 100-meter 5A state meet. Myles and his friend Tim Paulk who were teammates in football, insisted that they were a package deal for any school recruiting them.
Myles accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida, where he played for coach Galen Hall and coach Steve Spurrier's Florida Gators football teams from 1987 to 1990.
A score of 14 on the ACT (one point under the then-required 15), cost him a year of college eligibility while he was academically ineligible. As a sophomore, he played at the outside linebacker and strong safety positions. The next year after being tried at inside linebacker and strong safety, he became the starter at outside linebacker.
