New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater grew up in the Miami neighborhood of Liberty City and has made a point to give back to the community since making it to the NFL.

Bridgewater recently tweeted a series of photos from a toy drive he hosted last summer for kids in his old neighborhood.

Bridgewater eventually ran out of toys to give away, but instead of sending the children home empty-handed, he gave each of them $20.

"When you grow up in these communities like I did, you see things that you want to change," Bridgewater told Larry Blustein of CBS Miami in 2017. "Now I have the chance to do something - and that is important to me."
