5 NFL players who are known for their philanthropic side

#3 - Mike Evans

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans

Mike Evans has been one of the most consistently dominant wide receivers in the NFL since joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers eight years ago. He has exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in every season of his career while being selected to the Pro Bowl four times.

Evans has been just as consistent off the field with his charitable efforts and philanthropy as he has been on the field, catching passes and scoring touchdowns.

The Mike Evans Family Foundation has donated thousands of dollars to families affected by the coronavirus pandemic. He has also been a huge advocate for voter participation in elections.

#2 - Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson helped the Seattle Seahawks appear in two Super Bowls and came away with a victory in one of them during his legendary career with the team. He was traded to the Denver Broncos during the 2022 NFL offseason, so this year will be his first with a new team.

While Wilson has been a legend on the field in Seattle, he has been one off of it as well. He won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2020 for all of his charitable efforts, including for hunger relief and against racial injustice.

He has donated over one million dollars through various causes, including Feeding America and his own nonprofit organization, the Why Not You Foundation.
