Bo Jackson was one of the best running backs of his era in the NFL, and he proved to be one of the best human beings with his act of kindness. The former NFL running back donated $170K to the funerals of the victims of the shooting in Uvalde, Texas. 19 students and two teachers were the victims of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in May. Texas governor Greg Abbott wasn't in attendance for the funerals.NFL fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Jackson's donation.

He played his first season in the MLB with the Kansas City Royals in 1986. The Raiders picked the running back in the seventh round of the 1987 draft.He spent all four seasons with the team throughout his NFL career. However, he also played for the Royals in that same stretch (1987-1990). With the Raiders, the former Auburn back ran for 2,782 yards on 515 carries with 16 rushing touchdowns.In three of his four seasons, he led the NFL with the longest rushing yards on a carry. He ran for a 91-yard touchdown score against the Seattle Seahawks in the 1987 season, 92 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1989 season, and 88 yards against the Bengals in the 1990 season.He retired from the NFL following the 1990 season.
