NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Rhodes scholar and Titans rookie Myron Rolle hasn't signed his NFL contract yet. But that isn't stopping him from making donations to help Tennessee flood victims.
Rolle presented two $1,000 donations to the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund and the Metro Nashville Disaster Response Fund on Tuesday. The money came from the foundation Rolle started in January 2009 after playing his final game at Florida State and before heading to England for his studies.
The safety lasted until the final pick of the sixth round of the NFL Draft. He said that he wants to help his new town.
Rolle said he's "not rich" and he's "not crazy wealthy." He said "it's very pertinent to help in a community" and that "this is my first way of doing so."
