Cleveland Brown running back Kareem Hunt was baptized on Sunday and the team's general manager and head coach were there to support him.
Hunt was baptized at True Vine Baptist Church in Cleveland and John Dorsey and Freddie Kitchens made a surprise appearance at the ceremony.
Hunt said that he turned his life to religion after he was accused of beating a woman in a hotel last year, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Last week, Hunt recalled his reaction to watching the video.
