Wolfe gives back to high school students

Former NIU running back Garrett Wolfe didn't get a contract extension like Tom Brady this year (Brady got a four year deal worth $72 million, $48.5 million of which is guaranteed).

But that hasn't stopped Wolfe from giving back to the local community. The SouthtownStar reports that the Chicago Bears running back has help outfit a high school football team.

It's a benefit to know people in high places. Eisenhower coach Travis Moore and Bears running back Garrett Wolfe were teammates at Northern Illinois University. Wolfe recently hooked the Cardinals up with brand new Reebok cleats.

"He called me one day and asked for some shoe sizes of my players," Moore said. "A few days later, a bunch of brand new NFL style spikes were sent to the school for the kids. It was really nice of him (Wolfe). He didn't have to do that, but our kids are very appreciative."

Soure

This may be just a little action on the part of Wolfe, but it speaks magnitude of Wolfe's character.
