Ex-Michigan WR Braylon Edwards keeps promise, pays for 100 students to attend college :clap::clap:

Call former Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards what you will, but make sure you call him extremely charitable and a man of his word, too.

CBSSports.com reports that Edwards, who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2005, followed through with a promise he made four years ago through his foundation.

In 2007, he promised 100 Cleveland students he'd pay for their college tuition -- a value of $1 million -- if they performed 15 hours of community service a year and kept a grade-point average of at least 2.5.

Well, they did. So he did.

Here's what Edwards tweeted: As the 2nd most hated man in Clev & a man of my word, today I will honor a promise made to 100 students in Cleveland years ago ... The last of my Advance 100 students will graduate from my program and head off to college on scholarships that I will provide them with. Guys enjoy and embrace your new beginnings and remember your promise to me, to reach back & help someone else along the way."

    What I toook from this article is that Braylon Edwarda thinks he is the second most hated person in Cleveland. I would imagine he thinks a little too higly of himself.

    read this a day or two ago. really cool article, especially about a guy who has had attitude problems (and maybe showcases some of them in that tweet). Great to see that though. He didn't pull a Michael Scott and give them laptop batteries.
