DETROIT — While most NFL players are preparing for playoffs or jetting off to spend time with their families, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly took the time to bring Christmas to two fallen officers’ families.
WXYZ reported that the couple decided to bring presents to the children of fallen officers Myron Jarrett and Kenneth Steil who were killed in the line of duty this year.
“Just happy to hopefully bring some cheer to some people in the holidays that have had a tough time and this year, it was a great opportunity considering I did two families with fallen police officers — people that protect us and lost their lives in the line of duty,” Stafford told the news station.
The couple hand-delivered the gifts to the families and took the time to take some photos with the kids.
“It’s something we felt was important and just happy to do it,” Stafford said.
