This thing that we call life is very tricking at times, you’ll never know whenever your life would be changed! I’m here to stand behind my friend/brother @kendricknorton7 to help him out! My guy life was changed because of senseless people on the road! I would like to ask everyone especially my fans, friends and family to help my guy out! To help my dawg I’m giving away a free autographed jersey by myself to my fan who helps me help my guy! All you have to do is donate and screenshot it and sent it to my dm! I’ll be picking the lucky fan on next Friday at 3pm! Please it’s way bigger than football, football will end but we have a life to live beyond it! Much respect for you bro! #Maniac

There are often times in which things happen that show us football is simply a game and that there is so much more to life outside of the gridiron. The brotherhood of football remains strong as Leonard showed support for a fellow player who just underwent a massive change at just 22 years old.

You can donate to the Kendrick Norton support fund on GoFundMe.
