Florida's Tabor buys new shoes for homeless person

He's been in negative headlines recently, but Florida cornerback Teez Tabor showcased his softer side Saturday, gifting a pair of new sneakers and cash to a homeless man in Gainesville.

Tabor filmed the scene on Periscope:

"Got to give back to the community, man," Tabor said as he went to hand over the pair of shoes, along with $22 in cash.

Tabor and tight end C'yontai Lewis were suspended Wednesday following a scuffle that began in Tuesday's practice and escalated afterward. The pair of Gators are expected back at practice Thursday, but will remain suspended for Florida's season opener against UMass.
