Gary Barnidge wanted to make sure his teammates were there. So the veteran Browns tight end assembled his younger counterparts — Randall Telfer, Seth DeValve and Connor Hamlett — for a trip to the Brook Park Recreation Center.
“They’re a young group. I wanted to get them out here in the community like I’ve been doing and just show them that, hey, there’s a real benefit to doing this,” said Barnidge, who orchestrated a back-to-school event in which he donated almost 100 backpacks stuffed full of school supplies Friday afternoon.
