NFL players robbed by six masked men with guns. Cruel world.
Two Cleveland Browns Players Robbed at Gunpoint by Six Masked Men
In a shocking incident, two Cleveland Browns defensive players were robbed at gunpoint by six masked men outside a downtown nightclub, according to police.
The names of the players have been redacted in the field case report, but according to a person familiar with the situation, the players are cornerback Greg Newsome II and tackle Perrion Winfrey. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
According to police, one of the players was returning to his truck in a parking lot at 3:30 a.m. Monday when the masked suspects jumped out of a car and robbed him of jewelry before fleeing in his vehicle. The player said he was not injured during the theft.
Newsome, a starting cornerback drafted by the Browns in the first round in 2021 from Northwestern, posted Monday night on Twitter, “It’s a cruel world we live in.”
