Mar. 15, 2018 -- Cleveland Browns linebacker B.J. Bello surprised a group of young men at Oxford Elementary, offering words of encouragement and keys to success. 

 

Bello visited Ms. Rebecca McCalligan's classroom on February 12. He spoke to the students on perseverance and overcoming obstacles in order to achieve a goal.

 

The visit came about through a personal connection - the classroom's paraprofessional, Mr. Jeremy Graves, played football with Bello at Illinois State. Bello has played for the Browns since 2017.
