Cleveland Browns defense end Ogbo Okoronkwo had a really great weekend.
Not only did he tally four tackles for a loss and a sack in the Browns’ 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Okoronkwo also became a father less than 24 hours earlier. And in honor of his newborn son, Okoronkwo wore the hospital band from his newborn son’s birth as well as a baby blanket.
Ogbo played with his hospital band on and dedicated the game to his newborn son 🥹😭
