Great story. We don't know how lucky we are to have players like Luke, TD , Olsen, Cam, & Kalil. Just to name a few. 

High character players on and off the field. 

It's crazy our nicest players off the field are the ones on the field that will hit you (legally)until they break your will to play.

Very rare to have a guy with this much talent who is so humble and has such a good heart... I've interacted with Luke on numerous occasions and he's absolutely the real deal. My 9 year old daughter wears a brace for scoliosis and asked Luke to sign it (to make her feel better about having to wear it 12 hours a day). He signed it and spent time talking to her about the brace, her condition and some of his injuries and the challenges he's faced. This meant the world to her and immediately changed her perspective on the brace, there are no words for how much I appreciate what he did that day. 

There were no cameras, just Luke being Luke.

I think there is a balance between being humble about your charity work and using it to publicly inspire others. Despite Cam's high profile many of his good deeds are unreported or get out on Facebook from the families involved.

Thomas Davis got me to start donating to toys for tots and coat drives for kids. Listening to his story growing up poor inspired me. So it's not just about promoting themselves.

Luke is a really solid down to earth guy.  I got to meet him on the fan cruise, and he was every bit the way he is portrayed here. Called my wife and I by our first names every time he saw us on the cruise Took all the time he could to talk to every single person.  Also it was very clear he and Thomas Davis are really close off the field, the way he talked about Thomas it was like Thomas was his older brother.  The other players on the cruise really respected him too.

I could not be more proud to have this guy on our team, even if he weren't a future Hall of Famer.  He is a good human being no matter what.
