Agreed.
I first realized Chris Long was an exceptional human being when I heard about how he and William Hayes decided to feel what it was like to be homeless for awhile. Both of those guys are passionate about helping people, they’re not just going through the motions.
Here’s an article about it.

Please.
This is what I don't like about him.
He's play acting and making sure the press is there.
He knows what it's like to camp without a tent for one night.
I would assume he is bright enough to know this is play acting and little else. Hard to tell how much is just spin from the writer.
That said, I'm sure he is a compassionate person who believes in what he is doing.
There is something about him that strikes me as phony.
I appreciate his heart and hustle on the field. Not the most talented guy, but, a relentless motor.
I think it will be a few months before his reality show or a show "Chris Long saves the world" or whatever is announced.
Charity as self promotion.
I could be totally wrong about him.
He was a great Ram.
