New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas made a substantial donation Monday.

The All-Pro wideout, in partnership with RIP Medical Debt, relieved more than $2 million in medical debts for 1,025 New Orleans-area residents, the team announced Monday.

"I'm honored to support my community in this way and make an impact in the city that's been so welcoming to me from the minute I came here," Thomas said. "I hope these families receive a little relief in knowing their medical bills have been taken care of during these very difficult times in our country."
