New Browns defensive back Jason McCourty has only been in Cleveland a few weeks, but the veteran is already trying to make an impact in the community.
So on Wednesday after practice, McCourty, left tackle Joe Thomas, head coach Hue Jackson and executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown all met with members of the Maysville High School football team, who had been randomly selected to receive $25,000 in state-of-the-art helmets made possible through the HELMETS program.
HELMETS is a collaboration between the Browns, University Hospitals, Xenith and Ohio Lottery in an effort to enhance health and safety of young athletes through proper equipment, education and training.
