Since the Super Bowl, we’ve seen plenty about Cincinnati Bengals players training for the upcoming season and even Joe Burrow recruiting key free agents.
What doesn’t typically make the rounds, though, is the impact the players have off in their communities during the offseason.
Take Tyler Boyd, for example. He recently went back to South Allegheny and assisted The TONYSTRONG Foundation‘s inaugural event, posing for photos and helping with a basketball camp.
“It’s important to give back, always,” Boyd said, according to TRIBlive’s JoAnne Harrop. “I didn’t get to meet guys like me when I was their age. I want them to see that they can come from right here in the Mon Valley and be successful.”
The foundation’s goal is to cover sports clinics, teams and even physicals for kids in the local area before hopefully escalating to scholarships.
Boyd throwing an assist to a local effort like this is not just admirable, it’s giving back to a community in a way that could have a lasting impact for a very long time.
