Watch: Titans' Walker shares poem, offers tickets to bullying victim
A heartbreaking video of a Tennessee boy named Keaton Jones talking about being bullied at school has prompted Titans tight end Delanie Walker and others to reach out with words of encouragement.
The video was first shared by Keaton's mother, Kimberly Jones, who said her son asked her to record it.
Former NFL wide receiver Donte Stallworth retweeted the video Saturday, and then asked Walker and Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban to reach out to Keaton.
This brought tears to my eyes. We’ve gotta do better as humans! Thank you to all who work on anti-bullying campaigns. 🙏🏿 cc: @Carlos_Dunlap https://t.co/gP7JchKOWK

In response, Walker tweeted a video of him reading a poem and offered free tickets to Keaton and his family for the Titans' Dec. 31 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
