Warrick Dunn: One of the Good Guys

We read so much about the dirt-bags that grab the NFL headlines.
It's nice to read about some of the good guys.

“The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.”
~ William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar: Act 3, Scene 2

Willie can be wrong once in a while.

Warrick Dunn is indeed one of the good guys.

One way that Dunn's organization achieves this is through Betty's Hope, which offers grief resources and education for children. The other is Home for the Holidays, which eases the financial burden of homeownership for economically-disadvantaged single-parent families — helping others to realize the property-owning dreams that Dunn's mother always wanted but never lived to achieve.

Their slogan? "Improving lives. Instilling hope. Inspiring communities."

Somehow you always manage to make the corners of my mouth turn up, OCC.

One of the recipients of Dunn's "good guy" personality that's trying to do the same thing.

Yes; "good" can be catchy and no fancy gloves are needed.
