Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku revealed Wednesday that he suffered serious facial injuries in a home fire pit accident and wants to raise money for burn victims and research. In statements posted by the American Burn Association and on his own social media, the 27-year-old New Jersey native launched a merchandise brand, 'Withstand,' to generate those funds.
The fundraising merch includes t-shirts with images of Njoku in that mask showing up for the Ravens-Browns game. “I understand firsthand how suddenly life can change due to a burn injury,' Njoku said in a statement released by the American Burn Association. The player thanked doctors at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, saying the medical staff there was 'instrumental in my recovery, and I am forever grateful for their expertise and care.
