Andrew Hawkins the wide receiver will no longer be in Cleveland, but Andrew Hawkins the man will be heard from in the future.
Hawkins is one of those guys who has gone above and beyond when it comes to community and social involvement, and that does not figure to stop when his playing career ends.
The Browns made that clear in their strong statements about Hawkins when he was released. These were not boilerplate "thanks and good luck" statements.
“Andrew Hawkins was a great asset to the organization in his three seasons with our team," vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said.
