Redskins' Kelley, Marshall buy young boy Xbox in random act of kindness

The life of a professional athlete can often be hectic and demanding, but on Thursday Rob Kelley and Keith Marshall proved there's always an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life, even the briefest of moments.

Kelley and Marshall, both running backs for the Washington Redskins, made a the day of one young boy with an act of kindness and generosity, by buying him an Xbox during a trip to a local GameStop, according to John Keim of ESPN.

The two players were shopping when they noticed the boy asking about the price of a game, and offered to purchase the Xbox after the young boy made sure it was okay with his grandmother.

"The first thing that clicked in my head was, I always wanted someone to do that for me when I was a kid," Kelley said. "My people couldn't walk into a store and buy me stuff I really wanted, but with stuff going on in your family, some stuff you can't get.

"I've been in that place where I wanted something and couldn't have it. So it felt good just to be in a position to spare two, three hundred dollars to help a kid out like it's not going to affect me no type of way. Why not? I understand what he's going through."

Both Kelley and Marshall posed for a photo with the boy and his grandmother, but Kelley did so reluctantly because he didn't want people to get the wrong idea.

"That's not what I did it for," Kelley said. "It's cool that everyone knew it, but I'm not trying to promote it. Me and Keith, we didn't want to take a picture because we didn't want to make it seem like we're trying to make it seem like that. We had a conversation for a long time and talked to the GameStop people for a minute. But we wanted to make it known that it was not a publicity stunt."
