Browns fans and others on social media praised Njoku’s self-deprecation.
Njoku used his injury as a means to inspire others with similar injuries, so it’s no surprise that he would make such a joke.
“We got a lot of messages from other burn victims and nurses saying that everyone was too embarrassed to show anything,” Njoku told reporters after releasing photos of the burns in October.
