I totally agree mrslay1! I’m not sure what Tebow has to do with anything amazing thing TR did for this young lady. You are 100% correct, this is TR’s time to shine for an act he did from the heart, not Tebows give it a rest indeed!

Why can’t there be more positive stories like this?

Trent is a MAN entering the draft….

Trent is not a little boy entering the draft….

Real men do things like this. Real men do things like Alex Smith did. Not for publicity, not for fame, or riches. But because they have a heart, and because they are touched or moved by reasons that make them feel this is something they must do because indirectly it affects them. Richardsons mother battled cancer, and to him, this meant alot. Alex Smith did the same thing with joining the search. He hasn’t had a family member lost, but because he lives nearby, he wants to make a difference.

Trent, and Alex, you guys are making a difference in peoples lives more than what you probably realize by these acts of kindness you have displayed. You guys are real men of the NFL, and the type of guys we want to see in this sport!

@mrslay1 …

This post isn’t about Tebow. I’m sure you can find 50 others that are. Give it a rest.

@stairwayto7 …

Like nortonfest, I’m also a cancer survivor and wish you could drop your obsessive SEC hatred for five seconds. Really, really inappropriate here.

Of coarse if Tebow had done this everyone would be hating on him!

Classy move by Trent. More athletes should do things like this, they can see how normal people live.

TR You truly made that young ladies dreams come true! What a classy move indeed. She will have memories of that night for the rest of what will hopefully be a long life. You sir are a true gentleman. I wish you the best of luck in the NFL!

Classy move Trent. Best of luck on a long NFL career.

Now, can someone help me to figure out why someone feels compelled to put a thumbs down on every comment? Does that lowlife person have nothing better to do with his time.

And, @stairwayto7, you are just a pig. Why can’t someone do something nice without someone else having to come and pi$$ on it. I have been through chemo, and it sucks, so for an athlete to do what he did should be applauded, not ridiculed. Get a life!

Wait until 9 months when the 17 year old is pregnant and see what peopel say about Trent then!

A good heart is one of the many reasons Alabama fans love Trent. Wonderful story. Hope he finds great success in the pros. And best of luck to his date, Courtney, as she completes her chemotherapy.

AWWW what a sweet kid. He’s a good role model for his own kids to boot (think he has 2?). I love the good stories!

it doesn’t matter if he rushes for 1yard or 99,000 yards, he is truly a great guy in the game of life, & that is more important!! GOOD LUCK TRENT except against my 9ERS!!

Good guy. I’ll root for him wherever he goes.

To me, Richardson’s stock just rose 1000 fold. I am rooting for this kid, even if he *GULP* goes to a division rival.

Now that was class. Good to see other football players other than Tebow doing positive in the community. Well Done Trent!!

Kudos to Richardson. Maybe other so-called stars should learn something from this, leave their ego and sense of self entitlement at the door and do something for their less fortunate fellow neighbor.

Very nice. Many NFL players take their Tuesday day off and do great things in their local community. Most of it is not publicized, but many of these guys are grateful to be playing professional sports and love giving back to their community.

Awesome. I don’t really like Alabama but I’ve always liked TR. He plays hard on every down. The Browns will be a getting a huge upgrade from their previous me-first RB.

Nice to hear a story like this now and again.

Now, let the cynical/inappropriate jokes begin….
