The full details of what he did are incredible:
Sanders, the Cleveland Browns’ fifth-round rookie quarterback, helped organize and hosted a community event in East Cleveland on Wednesday, according to ESPN. One of the main goals of the event was to bring together the community after an explosion and fire at an apartment complex in late June killed one man and destroyed more than 40 units.
The Garden Valley Fun Fest included free food from food trucks, free haircuts, games and other activities. Sanders, along with Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr., reportedly took pictures and chatted with fans for hours before putting together “an impromptu game of football with kids.”
“I just wanted a day for everybody to get out here and have some type of enjoyment, excitement, bring just the family atmosphere back,” Sanders said, according to News 5 Cleveland.
The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft in late April. He said on his introductory press conference call shortly after the Browns drafted him that “I’ll be more involved in the community.” He’s making good on that promise before he has even played a snap.
