Jalen Hurts got involved with Erick, a seven-year-old that is battling cancer, through a charity called Alex’s Lemonade Stand. The rookie quarterback then found out that the family was living in a two-bedroom trailer with five children. He felt that the least he could do was help them find a new place to live. After doing so, he surprised the family with a $30,000 donation toward a new home, as seen in the video.

Jalen Hurts has been complimented for his character ever since his days at Alabama. The rookie carried his philanthropic ways into the NFL.
