CLEVELAND — In addition to being a nine-time Pro Bowler, Browns left tackle Joe Thomas is also something of a barbecue connoisseuru200b and an active member of the Cleveland community.
So on Friday, Thomas and fellow offensive lineman Joel Bitonio combined those passions and visited the Second District Police Station as part of the Browns’ First and Ten initiative and National Police Week.
“(We’re) kind of saying thank you,” Thomas said.
And they brought Mission BBQ, a new food chain set to start opening across Northeast Ohio in June, as a token of their appreciation.
