When the lights are on and everyone is looking, it’s always easy for people to put on their best and most kind faces.
But it’s when no one is looking and those cameras are turned off that a person’s true character is revealed. And Malik Willis just revealed his in Indianapolis this week for the NFL Combine.
Willis was unknowingly caught on camera helping someone in need out.
There were no cameras. There was no crowd. It was just Willis and the person. And here was Willis — a projected first-round pick — doing a random act of kindness for someone he apparently doesn’t even know.
He literally opened up his suitcase and handed the person clothes. Not quite the clothes off of his back, but absolutely close enough. It was a pretty incredible thing to see.
Was having lunch yesterday and saw one of the Combine guys helping out someone on some hard times…@malikwillis being great even when nobody is watching. How can you not be a fan of this guy? pic.twitter.com/BmFzUM66NU

What an awesome thing to do. Not for any sort of brownie points with the public or personal gain — just because. This is how we all should be.
Everyone saw this and agreed that Willis is the absolute best of us all. What a great thing to do.
