The Browns hosted Youth Football Day at the eighth training camp practice, a community occasion that celebrated 10 youth flag and tackle teams across Northeast Ohio. The Browns also kicked off Play Football Month, a league-wide celebration that recognizes and encourages youth and high school football athletes.
With experiences like the two presented on Friday, the Browns are encouraging growth of the game through every age level.
"We love having the youth football players out here. I remind our players all the time that they play a kid's game," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "They're blessed and fortunate and lucky to play a kid's game. I'm so lucky to coach this game, so we all can put ourselves in these kids' positions. I remember going to training camp when I was a kid and what that feeling is like being around your heroes. So, we love having these kids out here."
With the Browns' first preseason game against the Panthers just one week away, the Browns have added live tackling out on the field, as they practiced in pads for the second consecutive practice on Friday.
"It's exciting. Playing linebacker, we love physicality," LB Mohamoud Diabate said. "We want to set that tone for the defense. Being able to bring that out in practice and not having to save it for the game is very valuable. And I'm happy we're able to do it. And we have a blast doing it."
The Browns will continue working throughout the weekend and upcoming week with practice on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday before the first preseason game against the Panthers, so stay tuned online for progress.
