This year, New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards, will be sending a 100 Cleveland High School students to college.
In 2007, when playing for the Browns, Edwards promised a group of eighth graders he would pay their college tuition if they maintained a 2.5 GPA.
Braylon Edwards kept his promise and gave $1 million in scholarship money.
“As the 2nd most hated man in Clev. & a man of my word,” Edwards tweeted, “today I will honor a promise made to 100 students in Cleveland years ago. The last of my Advance 100 students will graduate from my program and head off to college on scholarships that I will provide them with. Guys enjoy & embrace your new beginnings and remember your promise to me, to reach back & help someone else along the way.”
