BEREA, Ohio _ Antonio Callaway has people counting on him to avoid trouble and maximize his talent as a wide receiver with the Browns.
There's his daughter Aulani, who will be 3 months old next week, his mother who raised him on her own and his four sisters.
"I already know what I've got to do," Callaway said Saturday before the second practice of rookie minicamp. "I know I've got to provide, so I've got to stay focused."
Browns general manager John Dorsey is counting on Callaway, too.
"For somebody to put their job on the line, I can't let him down," Callaway said.
Dorsey drafted Callaway in the fourth round (No. 105 overall) out of the University of Florida on April 28 despite off-field transgressions littering his background.
"Some of my choices that I made in my past caused me to fall a couple of rounds," Callaway said. "I have learned from them, moved on and became a better person."
Callaway left Saturday's practice with a toe injury he suffered in one-on-one drills. He removed his left shoe while the team's medical staff examined him on the field, then eventually walked inside. After practice, a team spokesman said the severity of the injury wasn't known.
It's just the latest obstacle Callaway will need to overcome. Unlike the injury, much of the adversity can be blamed on him.
In March, Callaway failed a drug test at the NFL scouting combine and admitted to the league's network he smoked marijuana "several" weeks before the event.
"I had diluted sample," he said. "I didn't intentionally do it. I take responsibility for my test.
"That was a wake-up call. I'm still getting better as a person, as a player, as a man, a father."
Callaway was out of football last season, suspended for his involvement with a credit-card fraud scheme in which seven Florida players allegedly funded their private bookstore accounts. Felony charges were dropped after a plea deal was reached.
"I made a mistake," he said. "I put myself in a situation that cost me my season. I'm past it, though."
In May 2017, Callaway was cited for marijuana possession as a passenger in a car with a 40-year-old career criminal. He was suspended for 2016 spring practices during a sexual assault investigation and later cleared of three charges by a Title IX hearing officer. He testified he was high on marijuana during the incident and was found not responsible.
Browns coach Hue Jackson said he and Dorsey recently had a candid conversation with Callaway about his checkered past and what's expected of him going forward.
"He knows that he has our support and that we are going to do anything and everything that we can to assist him off of the field first to make sure that is right, and that we have no tolerance for things that are not becoming of the Cleveland Browns," Jackson said. "We are not going to dabble in any of that. I think he got that message loud and clear. I think he is up to the challenge. Our job is to assist him each and every day, every opportunity we can and help him be a good teammate and a good football player."
Callaway grew up fatherless in a rough neighborhood of Miami, where he said life was hard and he witnessed "the worst of the worst." He said he saw people selling drugs and killing each other as a young child.
"Growing up, I said I didn't want that life, so I stuck with football. I just stuck with football," Callaway said. "I wasn't a troubled kid. I ain't never get in trouble till I got to college."
Now Callaway knows he cannot afford missteps if he wants to remain available to play for the Browns. A failed drug test at the combine means he'll enter the NFL in the league's substance-abuse policy. He said he's surrounding himself with "positive people" in an effort to turn his life around.
