Even though former Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards has left the Browns, he is keeping his promise to award 100 Cleveland Public School students $10,000 each. In 2007, he selected 100 eighth graders and made a promise that if they kept a 2.5 average, did 15 hours of community service and had no unexcused absences he would award them each $10,000.

To date, 90 of the students have met the requirements. Kudos to Braylon Edwards for both his generosity and honoring his commitment to these kids.
