Richard Sherman, one of the captains of the 49ers, has made a major assist for young football players in his hometown, Compton.
Sherman has donated $5,000 to the Hub City football team, a 6-and-under club that has earned an invite to the National Youth Championship in Florida.
For his efforts, he was named the Week 11 NFLPA Community MVP.
According to Fox 11 Los Angeles, the team had raised $700 for the trip and was aiming for a target of $15,000. Then Sherman stepped in.
As of Tuesday morning, the GoFund has nearly doubled that goal, racking up more than $29,000 in donations, thanks in no small part to the $5k donation from an individual named Richard Sherman.
