Buccaneers star wide receiver Mike Evans and Titans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair shared a cool moment on the field during Sunday’s game between the two squads.
Al-Shaair has one of the most powerful background stories of any player in the NFL: He grew up in Tampa and spent time in Section 8 housing after his parents divorced, then became homeless during high school after a fire. He then lived out of a motel and spent hours each day commuting to school to keep playing football. That made this game in Tampa a special one, and he shared a moment with the veteran Evans to express his appreciation for what he has done for the city.
