A Football Player Does Good

So often there are so many horror stories about professional athletes that I thought I would bring you a good one. Would you be willing to give up your entire salary for a year to help someone else? Braylon Edwards did. Back in 2005 when Braylon Edwards was a rookie in Cleveland, he offered 100 kids the chance to earn $10,000 scholarships if they graduated high school and met other conditions. 79 of the 100 did just that which is costing Braylon $790,000. This year was the make good year and Braylon made less than $790K for the season after taxes but it did not stop him from fulfilling his promise to those 8th grade kids, many of whom said they would not have been able to afford to go to school if not for Braylon.
