BEREA: Danny Shelton listened to the advice doled out this week at the NFL Rookie Symposium and realized his mother has been preaching similar lessons about staying out of trouble for years.
“My whole life has been like that,” Shelton said Tuesday while AFC rookies participated in a youth football clinic at Browns headquarters as part of the symposium.
He didn’t always listen, but his mom was too tough to give up.
Oneone Shelton had to be strong to survive as a victim of domestic violence who essentially raised five children on her own. She had to be resilient to prevent the boy whom the Browns would ultimately pick 12th overall in the NFL Draft from wasting his talent.
