Former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Cedric Tillman had a moment of redemption on Thursday evening in Cleveland Browns teammate David Njoku's second annual celebrity softball game.

Tillman badly misplayed a ball in the outfield early in the game, which resulted in a crowd reaction that no athlete ever wants to hear.

Later in the game, though, Tillman redeemed himself by making a nice leaping catch on the run.

Tillman ended up being a member of the winning team (and the winning team received a ridiculously big trophy).

The former Vol is entering his third season in the NFL. Tillman, a third round selection by the Browns in the 2023 NFL Draft, showed some promise last season, catching 29 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games.

Tillman will enter the 2025 season as a "locked in" starter for the Browns.
