Landon Jackson – the rising young defensive end of the Buffalo Bills – has just made a touching gesture that has deeply touched the entire NFL community. After the tragic plane crash in India that killed dozens of people and left many families in grief, Jackson decided to stand up and donate all of his previous season’s bonuses to support the victims and their families.
In a statement posted on his personal account, Landon Jackson shared: “Football taught me courage, but this life taught me compassion. I cannot ignore the great loss of people on the other side of the world.”
Jackson not only stopped at financial support, but also organized an online auction of his game items – including jerseys, gloves and shoes from last season’s most memorable game – to raise funds for relief. This meaningful action quickly spread strongly on social networks, receiving enthusiastic support from many fans and teammates. Some big stars in the NFL such as Josh Allen, Von Miller and Travis Kelce also pledged to donate more, creating an unprecedented wave of humanity in the American football world.
International media quickly reported on Jackson’s noble gesture, calling him the “silent hero” of the NFL. In India, many charitable organizations sent their thanks to Jackson and affirmed that this money would help urgently provide necessities, medicine and temporary housing for the survivors.
The incident caused the entire NFL to reconsider the value of players not only on the field but also in real life. Landon Jackson, from a young face full of potential, has now become a symbol of global kindness and spirit.
