Washington Football Team: Landon Collins’ latest charitable act is a must-watch

The Washington Football Team‘s front office and coaching staff just got done finalizing the 53-man roster for the upcoming season.

As it is every year, this was no doubt a grueling process for everyone involved. It’s never fun informing a player they didn’t make the team.

It’s even more difficult when players who were firmly on the roster bubble, like Antonio Gandy-Golden and Jimmy Moreland, get released.

For anyone in need of a pick-me-up, why don’t we take a step (or several) away from the roster madness and shine light on a charitable act carried out by one of the pillars in the Football Team’s locker room?

While Washington was busy trimming the roster, Landon Collins took time out of his week to surprise a DC youth football team with a shopping spree.

Football Team fans will love Landon Collins’ latest incredible gesture.

This is what it’s all about. Look at the sheer joy Collins brought this team by just buying them some football gear. Not only did the former All-Pro safety give each player a $150 gift card, but he was their personal shopping guide, consulting them on which equipment (cleats, pads, etc.) he would buy for himself.

For someone who signed a six-year, $84 million contract with Washington, it’s clear Collins is committed to giving back to local communities. The best part? The 27-year-old safety enjoyed the experience almost as much as the kids.

"“Being around these kids to give them a smile on their face and to put something on their shoulders that they can use on and off the football field is amazing,” Collins said, as transcribed by Matt Pusatory of WUSA Channel 9 in Washington."

As if this story couldn’t get any more wholesome, one of the players was brave enough to speak to a nearby reporter about what it meant for Collins, who could’ve been training in preparation of the regular season, to spend the day with his team.

“It just feels great for him to come down here and spend his time with us, just so we can have a surprise and get us ready,” the young player said.

What a gesture by Collins.

The fact he looks like a better player and in midseason form less than a year removed from tearing his Achilles is a miraculous accomplishment in and of itself, but something tell us this amazing act of kindness meant more to him.
