Many of us are guilty of it—doomscrolling on our phones and rushing past the positive moments. However, taking a moment this week revealed the generosity within the NFL.
In New Jersey, Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart brightened the day at Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital, dressing as Superman to spend time coloring with 5-year-old Giuseppe Maneiro, who is currently fighting leukemia.
Meanwhile, in Charlotte, Panthers rookie Tetairoa McMillan donned a full Maui costume from Moana to surprise children at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital. Additionally, the Vikings’ offensive line hosted a Halloween fashion show for young patients at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital.
In Foxboro, Drake Maye shone at a family event, dressed as Dragonite, while Marcus Jones answered contract questions in a Sonic the Hedgehog costume. These moments are a heartwarming reminder that, beyond the fierce competition, players are also kind individuals who can drop their tough personas to spread joy.
This heartwarming spirit comes as the NFL heads into a busy trade deadline, with front offices gearing up for significant changes. Conversations are heating up as teams prepare to shake things up.
