C edric Tillman , the wide receiver of the Cleveland Browns , opened the 2025 season with a statement performance. Although the Browns suffered a narrow 17-16 defeat, Tillman collected five grabs for 52 yards. He also had a touchdown in that match, which was the only one from Brown’s side.

Tillman, 25, graduated from Bishop Gorman High School. Then, to play college football, he committed himself to the University of Tennessee. During his college tenure, he served as a backup receiver and redshirted as a freshman in 2018. But what makes Tillman’s background interesting is his family tree.
