1.This just in: Preston Brown's Playbook
On Tuesday Oct. 3, Bills linebacker Preston Brown launched "Preston's Playbook" with the help of his college teammate and Buffalo native, Justin Gilmore. Preston's Playbook is a program focused on giving back to the local community through a variety of different outlets.
One thing that has always been important to Brown is education. Growing up, Brown was inspired by watching his father who worked in education for years.
Preston's Playbook kicked off at Niagara Falls Wheatfield High School, where he visited the varsity football team following practice. After getting to know the young players, and providing insight on balancing football and maintaining a good GPA, he knew he wanted to do more to help their team. Brown donated stadium lights to their field so that next week the team can host their very first night game.
In addition to visiting the Niagara Falls Wheatfield football team, Brown also visited a local Make-A-Wish recipient, Angelica Beiter. A few years ago, Beiter was granted her wish to travel to Disney World. The trip gave her and her family a chance to have fun and not worry about her illness, something she knew other children deserved too. Inspired by the opportunity, Beiter has spent the past couple of years raising thousands of dollars to help other Make-A-Wish children. With a little extra help from Brown, Beiter is now able to fund three wishes.
2.A Pro on the field and in the kitchen
On Sundays, cornerback Leonard Johnson is a key player in the Bills 1/11 defense approach taking on opposing players and stopping plays. On his days off, Johnson prefers a more one-on-one approach, challenging himself in the kitchen. On his day off last week, Johnson and his fiancé took a cooking class, spending their date night preparing gourmet steaks and ravioli. Cooking has always interested Johnson, who hopes one day to be on the Food Network.
