Congratulations to him!

It was kind of exciting then misleading as I saw several headlines that said "Former Ohio Wide Receiver....." on this accomplishment.

Even the Beacon-Journal used it. I would have thought Akron or University of Akron would have been more appropriate.

Word is: he and Kobe Bryant are the only two former professional sports participants to also be such awarded!

The timing for Mr. Cherry is quite interesting!
