BROOKLYN, Ohio — Browns safety Grant Delpit was at Brooklyn Elementary School Tuesday for a back to school supply giveaway, and took the opportunity to run some football drills with the kids, and boast about his perfect attendance record when he was in school.
The giveaway, for students in second through fourth grade, included backpacks, school supplies and Browns gear.“It brings back memories,” he said. “I had perfect attendance in elementary school for a long time...you gotta ask my mom, but it was a long time — it was like some years.” “[My mom] definitely took pride in me, both of my parents, and me going to school and being there and being present,” Delpit said. “So they instilled that in me…when I was a kid and they did a great job with me, so I’m just trying to tell them the same thing.” “Everybody wanted to do the griddy!” he said. “It was a good experience, the kids were competitive out here, early in the morning."
