Football star branching out
FILE - In this Aug. 29, 2019, file photo, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett smiles before an NFL preseason football game against the Detroit Lions, in Cleveland. The Browns star defensive end has been chosen as the new captain of the NFL Waterboys program, which is committed to bringing clean water to needy East African communities. Garrett is taking over the role previously held by Chris Long, who retired after 11 seasons.
Garrett bought a minority stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise and will also serve as an official Cavaliers brand ambassador, the team announced. Garrett, a four-time Pro-Bowler and 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee is also captain of the NFL Waterboys, a charity focused on bringing clean water to communities in the U.S. and abroad.
“As a leader on and off the field, Myles has become a Cleveland icon and shares in our organization’s commitment to being a transformative force for good across the region,” Cavs chairman and governor Dan Gilbert said. “We are honored to welcome this long-time friend of the team as our new partner and investor. Myles’ passion and commitment to the city he loves will allow us to reach new communities and continue to build the successful future of this franchise.
“I have admired the Cavaliers organization’s hard work, tenacity and dedication to the community since my early days in Cleveland,” said Garrett. “To have the opportunity to join this impressive and purpose-filled franchise, under Dan’s leadership, is truly a dream come true.”Tristan Thompson: Navigating grief, family and basketball
