Cleveland Browns: Revenge of the Nerds — for charity

The Cleveland Browns had some fun recently as three players battled in a game of Dungeons and Dragons in front of some of their fans

For anyone who doesn’t follow Cleveland Browns fullback Jonny Stanton on social media, the guy is a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons.

Most fans do follow Myles Garrett and they know he’s always up for some fun — whether it’s getting all into Game of Thrones, or talking dinosaurs with anyone who is into them.

Now, the two came together and even brought in Wyatt Teller for an epic game of D&D. In a charity event, the three teammates came together for what Annie Nickoloff of Cleveland.com called some “nerdy fun.”

"“But this was no football game. Johnny Stanton, Wyatt Teller and Myles Garrett were competing in a different kind of game: a one-shot of ‘Dungeons & Dragons’, held at Tabletop Board Game Café in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood.” — Nickoloff, Cleveland.com"

The charity event hit the goal of $10,000 for the ‘Red Nose Day’ which is aimed at helping children who live in poverty. It was also sold out as plenty of people wanted to see some of their favorites have a little fun away from the game — and there were even more who turned in online to watch.

Stanton was considered the leader — and most experienced in the group. Garrett was unsurprisingly a dragon-born samurai and Teller was a half-elf ‘moon cleric’ (admittedly, I don’t have any clue what that is).

In the end, what mattered most is these guys came together for a good cause and had some fun in front of fans. Garrett has always been a huge presence in the Cleveland area and other players have started joining in on the fun — which is a great thing to see.

Cleveland just wrapped up part of their OTA practices which took place from May 24-26. They will get back together on the 31st to work out for another three days as they prep for the 2022 season.
