Braylon Edwards Makes Good On His Promise Of Giving $10,000 Scholarship To Cleveland Students

Everyone is quick to talk about the athletes that get into trouble. But what about the ones that do GREAT things off the field? Braylon Edwards made a promise his rookie year back in 2005 to give $10,000 scholarships to a group of 100 Cleveland area eighth graders. If they finish high school with a 2.5 grade point average or higher they would get the scholarship. It's good to point out that 50% of public school students in Cleveland do not graduate high school. 79 out of 100 got the scholarship!!

Braylon Edwards just got a whole lot of respect from me...Cause not only did he make good on his promise, he went EVEN FURTHER! Yahoo! checked in on the situation:

"Edwards didn't shy away from his commitment. In fact, he increased it.

The 79 students were provided with laptops and other supplies to help them out when they arrived on campus.

"I'm supposed to give people a chance like I was given a chance," Edwards said.

Edwards hasn't played for the Browns in two years. He's a member of the San Francisco 49ers this season and is earning a $1 million base salary for the year, just about what he'll pay those 79 students he promised to help years ago."

So yeah, he doesn't even play in Cleveland anymore...and he still made good. I LOVE GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE!!!
