Interview: Gary Baxter
Podcasting the National Football League, Podcasting the NFL
Less than one year after rupturing the patellar tendons in both knees, Cleveland Browns DB Gary Baxter is nearing a full recovery as he works with his teammates on the practice field. In a grueling rehab process that found him in a hospital bed for the first two and a half months following surgery, Gary’s warrior mentality and strong faith finds him at a place some thought was impossible to reach. I spoke with Gary after practice from the Browns’ Training Complex.
