Heartwarming: NFL QB Gives His Clothes To Homeless Person After Combine

Before becoming an NFL player, Malik Willis made his mark helping a homeless person. In 2022, he was an invited participant at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. The event happens before the draft, allowing coaches and scouts to view draft-eligible college players. Willis was a third-round draft pick of the Tennessee Titans, but nobody knew that yet.

Malik Willis is now a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, an NFL team from Wisconsin. After his stint with the Titans, he joined the Packers for the 2024 season. Even with his successful NFL career, Malik continues to support homeless people and other charities.

With fellow quarterback Jordan Love and Better Days Mentoring, Malik participated in a recent coat drive for people in need. In an interview with Green Bay Press Gazette, Malik said, “I think it’s very cool, it’s very powerful to be able to help people out. I think giving back is very important. It’s the way I was raised. My parents were very giving people.”

The original report of Malik interacting with the homeless woman outside the NFL Combine was from Ryan Lacey on X (Twitter). He had been catching lunch across the street when he caught the moment. His comment says it all: “@malikwillis being great even when nobody is watching. How can you not be a fan of this guy?”

Many NFL players support homeless charities in their communities. Najee Harris returned to the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program homeless shelter for a party to celebrate being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Najee and his family had spent time at the shelter during his youth. The party was sentimental and heartwarming. Giving back is important to players and makes them heroes to the homeless.
