The man who proudly donned the garnet and black in college wore orange and black cleats at his MVP football camp Saturday in Charleston. Shaw says he’s still trying to get used to the colors of his new NFL team, the Cleveland Browns.
“I walked in the locker room, and I saw my name, and it was pretty surreal,” Shaw told WCIV. “But then you look at that orange helmet, and you’re like, ‘Oh, man! I got to get used to that.'”
