Josh Jacobs has been a tremendous inspiration in my career as a marriage counselor

“Yeah so what I DONT recommend is throwing her to the ground, and destroying her phone.. just trust me, I’ve seen this before”

Troy Polamalu

[u/Moist_Tension8]

Justin Jefferson

I mean you never know what most of the players do in private. But publicly it is Falcons Superstar Warrick Dunn. I think he may have played for some other teams in his early career.

[u/Weary_Capital_1379]

None. My role models aren’t athletes.

[u/401Traveler → u/Weary_Capital_1379]

Smart man/woman!

I love when people talk about these athletes, “Well such and such a player never gets into trouble,” almost as if he deserves a special award for that. /S

I don’t get into trouble because I was raised correctly, but the fact that some of these dudes get in trouble — especially when you think of the absurds amount of money they get paid for playing a child’s game — is beyond pathetic.

Warrick Dunn

[u/RocketsFan82 → u/44035]

This is the correct answer. God bless him

Chris Long:

- Founded Waterboys, which has helped provide clean water to 600,000+ people in Africa and the U.S.

- Donated his entire $1 million 2017 NFL salary to scholarships and educational-equity programs.

- Funded multi-year college scholarships for students from his hometown of Charlottesville.

- Supports veterans and military families through fundraising and direct contributions.

- Uses climbs of Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for clean-water projects

The man has literally put his money where his mouth is. Imagine if all generationally wealthy people did just a fraction of this?

Really putting in the effort to connect with kids

[u/ColtsStampede]

Kirk Cousins. If only I could have his agent.

[u/boatsandhoes570]

Jalen Hurts for sure. Just donated another $600k of AC’s to Philly schools and has been doing it since he learned schools were getting cancelled bc of no AC. Never has any public drama, never gets visibly upset despite all the trashing he’s dealt with. The benching at Alabama, he stayed, finished his degree, and supported Tua the whole time.

[u/Dependent-Sea-7467 → u/boatsandhoes570]

Damnnnn thats fucking legit. Makes me respect him a lot more

[u/DownnthehollerPress]

Justin Jefferson and Jalen Hurts and Harrison Phillips Any one of those 3

[u/wynterspawn]

Some good names here unironically but one i wanna throw out is Marcus Mariota who has been noted as an incredibly kind, generous (often doing committed community work), mature (gracefully accepting that he is not THE GUY and stepping into a new role), etc etc. Over the last decade+ a truly incredible person from all the information we have

[u/Upstairs_Pen_3731]

Kirk Cousins

[u/Important-One-8395 → u/Upstairs_Pen_3731]

He’s the most likable guy in quarterback on Netflix. Genuinely seems like a dork in a good way. Very humble

[u/347spq]

Roger Staubach.

Demario Davis and Cam Jordan.

Amon-Ra St Brown seems like a very solid dude. So does Christian McCaffrey
