For all the complaints the new name, image and likeness rules deserve, we have seen an uptick in community services and players giving back to communities. Ohio State freshman quarterback, Air Noland is the most recent example of players using their money for good.
Noland recently held a back to school event in Southside Atlanta where he donated 250 backpacks. The event hosted by the former four-star Georgia high school phenom also included a bounce house, petting zoo and of course a face painting booth.
It is always great to see players give back to their communities and with Noland being so young the effort he put forward is even more inspiring.
