Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson spent part of his recent offseason free time meeting with middle school and high school students at Crossroads Church in Oakley.
The two-night event let students play games and eat while McPherson and others stressed important themes.
“This year’s message is based on voices and just really listening for God’s voice and putting God’s voice first in your life,” McPherson said, according to Fox 19’s Morgan Parrish. “I think it’s really important to engage with this age group and just to let them know that everybody struggles no matter where you come from, what walk of life you’re in. This age is the future of the church and we have to really preach to them and motivate them to want to get better.”
As always, it’s fun to check in on what Bengals players get up to during the offseason. McPherson has spent some of his public time in an important way while spreading positivity.

One of our kickers sadly had to be pulled for injury. Thankfully, we had another one on standby.
Word is he’s pretty good. Like “co-record holder for most field goals in a single NFL post-season” good. @McPherson_Evan pic.twitter.com/NrMXeRP4zO
