Wolverine Football Players Giving Back to Youth in Cleveland, Detroit

Wolverine defensive lineman Kwity Paye recalled playing youth league football in inadequate equipment and well-worn uniforms. University of Michigan linebacker Adam Shibley thought about the young football players in Cleveland collecting street donations for uniforms. And so when Paye, Shibley and 11 other Wolverines experienced the unveiling of Terrance Byrd Jr., in his new Cleveland Red Dogs uniform and helmet at a mid-July presentation by their TUFF (The Uniform Funding Foundation) group, it was a full-circle moment of joy.
