NORTH RIDGEVILLE — The Browns dropped by North Ridgeville High School on Tuesday afternoon, but their presence was largely unannounced.
In a surprise visit, Cleveland offensive lineman Cameron Erving and quarterback Robert Griffin III helped star in presenting the school with $25,000 toward new helmets thanks to the HELMETS program, a coordinated effort from the Browns, University Hospitals and United Healthcare.
“It was a great experience,” Erving said. “It was great to see the kids so happy to get new helmets and it’s always important to be safe.”
HELMETS aims at advancing player safety in high school football by awarding a Northeast Ohio area high school football program with $25,000 in new football helmets.
