Rashard Higgins has his next chapter.
The long-time Cleveland Browns WR who they called Hollywood is moving on to a career of public service — he has become a firefighter.
Higgins announced the career move in a new Instagram post in which he details the struggle of finding his next steps after the NFL.

This is what Higgins wrote on IG:
"When football ended, I kept asking myself: What now? What's next? If I became a stay-at-home dad, what kind of example would that be for my kids? They need to see drive. Purpose. A reason to keep pushing.
"I went to God. I opened my Bible. And one thing stood out: Jesus always put others before Himself. That kind of love and selflessness - that's what I want my life to reflect.
"Becoming a firefighter gives me that chance to show up when people need it most. To be the one running in when everyone else is running out. To save lives, or simply to stand beside someone on their worst day.
"I found God. I found my purpose. And the same rush I felt under the lights is the same rush I get when I put on my boots and step into that fire."

That's such a cool way of looking at it by Higgins.
He was originally a fifth-round pick by the Browns in 2016 out of Colorado State.
He then spent six seasons in Cleveland, catching 137 passes for 1,890 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Higgins spent three games with the Carolina Panthers in 2022, and then that was it for his NFL career.
Now, Higgins has his next chapter.
