Cleveland Browns Tweet Chadwick Boseman Tribute With His Tie To The Team

The Cleveland Browns honored Chadwick Boseman with a nod to the actor’s work that spotlighted the team.

The late Black Panther star died in his home on August 28, surrounded by family after a private four-year battle with cancer. He was 43.

The loss shocked and saddened fans worldwide.

Among the tributes, the Cleveland Browns remembered “Vontae Mack no matter what,” with a breaking heart.

Boseman played "Mack" in Draft Day, a 2014 fictional drama in which Kevin Costner plays the team’s general manager.

Determined, Costner’s character sets his sights on "Mack," an Ohio State University linebacker, as his top pick.

WKYC pointed out that ‘Draft Day’ was also filmed in Cleveland.

The Browns also posted a photo of running back Kareem Hunt paying tribute to Boseman, hashtagging the gesture #WakandaForever.

For Clevelanders and other fans who haven’t seen Draft Day yet, they can stream it for free on Vudu or rent it on Amazon Prime and other streaming services, Pop Culture reported. It’s not on Netflix or Hulu at this time.

Boseman’s family remembered him as “a true fighter” in a statement confirming his death on August 28, noting that many of the films fans know and love “all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther."

“The family thanks you for your love and prayers,” the statement said, “and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
