In case you missed it, OJ Howard recently teamed up with United Healthcare as a part of Howard’s Dream Foundation to give away 200 pairs of brand new sneakers to kids at The Boys and Girls Club of Tampa Bay.
An amazing gesture on the part of our 2017 first-round draft pick, and the inspiration that was given to these children will last them a lifetime.
It goes to show you that even though it is not highly talked about, NFL players are very active within the community and are doing their part to give back any way they can. OJ certainly deserves a pat on the back!
Yesterday, @TheRealOjHoward and @UHC donated and distributed 200 pairs of sneakers to students at the Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay!
O.J. grew up going to Boys and Girls Clubs, what a fitting way to give back. 🙌👟#GoBucs pic.twitter.com/UxOHOyGbVl
