A former Cleveland Browns player is being touted as a hero after stepping in to help an elderly man out.
Braylon Edwards was at a local YMCA in Farmington Hills, Michigan when he rescued an 80-year-old man who was said to have been actively being assaulted by a 25-year-old, according to Click On Detroit.
“I walk into the locker room after work, and basically, I hear about four rows behind me arguing about music and how it was being played too loud,” said Edwards. “So I’m not paying attention, and I was just minding my business.
“The noise escalates, and then you can hear some pushing and shoving, so you know what fighting sounds like, but once I hear a thud, that’s when I got up and turned around,” Edwards said.
Edwards was the No. 3 overall pick by the Browns in the 2005 NFL Draft. He went on to play in five seasons with Cleveland and had an eight-year career in all after being a standout at Michigan.
“I didn’t know it was that serious, I mean the victim probably had a serious concussion by nature but It wasn’t until I talked to Detective Jacobs down in Farmington who told me that if I didn’t step in but at the end of the day that’s what you do.”
Edwards just happened to be in the right place at the right time, if he was not it very well could have been much worse. So, if you’re wondering what Edwards is up to these days, it’s being a good Samaritan.
Browns linked to possibly making a big splash signing in free agency to bolster their defense
A very good defense would become even more scary.
