Titans RB Chris Johnson reaches out to Newtown victim's family
Titans running back Chris Johnson's public tribute to those who died in the Newtown, Conn.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], school shooting earned him national attention on Monday Night Football.
He also gained a friend for life in 11-year-old Jack McDonnell, who lost his younger sister,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Grace, in the tragedy. On Tuesday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Johnson spoke with the McDonnell family to express his condolences.
"Jack seems like a really nice kid. It's really a great family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], really,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and my heart goes out to them," Johnson said Wednesday. "It's a situation where I just want to lift the family up, or lift anyone up who is going through such a tough time. Anything possible I can do to lift their spirits up a little bit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that's all I want to do."
Johnson wrote the names of the 20 children and six teachers on his cleats before he took the field against the Jets. During the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he set a franchise record with a 94-yard touchdown run as the Titans won 14-10.
A friend of first-grader Grace McDonnell's family watched the game and reached out to the Titans on Tuesday.
Later that day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Johnson talked to Chris and Lynn McDonnell, Grace's parents. He also chatted with Jack McDonnell, Grace's older brother, who spotted his sister's name on one of Johnson's shoes during the ESPN telecast.
"They were excited to hear from me. I just wanted to give my condolences and make sure they stay strong and keep God first,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Johnson said. "When I talked to Jack, we mostly talked about the game. He told me he liked my run. I think his dad was a Jets fan before, but they are new Tennessee Titans fans now. Cruz spent an hour with Jack Pinto's family, who buried their son in Cruz's No. 80 jersey. The family said Cruz was Jack's favorite player.
Cruz wrote Jack Pinto's name on his cleats and gloves before the Giants lost to the Falcons on Sunday.
"What Victor Cruz has done is awesome. What Chris Johnson has done, that's awesome. For those guys to reach out to the families, it shows what kind of people they are," Titans cornerback Jason McCourty said. "A lot of people look to football players and athletes, in general, and kind of look up to them. to reach out and show that he cares, that is something special. Stuff like that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more guys probably need to be doing."
Johnson plans to send Jack McDonnell an autographed jersey. He plans to auction off the shoes he wore during Monday's game to raise money for the families impacted by the tragedy.
Earlier this year Johnson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 27, became the father of twins. His great-grandmother died on Sept. 16,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the morning of the Titans-Chargers game in San Diego.
"I am not trying to do any of this to put the attention on myself. I just want to give back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "I knew it was a tough time and any time you have kids of your own, for something like that to happen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what happened (in Connecticut),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is kind of crazy. It is sad. Not for one minute do I want to take attention away from the families.相关的主题文章:
