Braylon Edwards 100 Future College Grads

OK never heard of Braylon Edwards but I salute him for paying the way for 100 young men and women through College.  I am not much of a football fan and my house is a Giant household so he did not make my radar until know. Braylon Edwards is number 17 on the NY Jets team a wide receiver. I think that is an amazing thing that he has done opening up the future to 100 young people. Who would probable not have had this opportunity with the rising price of education. All that he asked of his 100 young people was to keep a 2.5 grade point average and to perform 15 hours of community service. In my eyes an easy task to an end goal of having the college of your choice paid. Braylon ask them to reach back to their community once they have also made it. Gosh would this not be an amazing thing if those who are blessed with the opportunity to make millions would reach back and help the youth that idolize them. Those who watch them on television, read about them, buy there music and fantasize about them. Not everyone is meant to be superstars in the conventional sense but is meant to become great philosophers, doctors, writers, producers, lawyers, scientist and the like. A mind is a great thing and education is a beautiful thing. It would be a beautiful thing if more of the haves would reach out and give a helping hand to our children. I never heard of Braylon Edwards until he helped out a group of young people and there families who will never forget him!
