Watch: Chargers’ Uchenna Nwosu hooks up teen with special gift

Even though Christmas is over that doesn’t mean that it stops the season of giving.

That’s exactly what Chargers linebacker Uchenna Nwosu did on Saturday for a teenager in Burbank, CA who has been dealing with type 1 diabetes since he was a toddler.

Nwosu, a nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, showed up to Providence High School to surprise 14-year old Charlie Wehrenberz with Super Bowl tickets.

During the regular season, Nwosu wore cleats during the “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign to support the Children’s Diabetes Foundation.

Since joining the team in 2018, Nwosu has dedicated a lot of his time to give back to the community such as participating in events like Bikes for Kids, the annual food distribution event with Tyson, and Play 60 camps.
