Not long before his much-publicized trade to the New York Jets, Tebow took time to play football with one of his biggest fans. Tebow invited the family of four-year-old Preston Wilson, who has acute myeloid leukemia, to Tampa so the young fan could play football with his favorite player. The highlight? The youngster Tebowed. "That was awesome," Tebow said. "So good."

Before becoming the No. 3 overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, Richardson accompanied a teenage cancer survivor to her senior prom. Richardson -- decked in a white tuxedo -- granted a wish by leukemia patient Courtney Alvis, of Hueytown, Ala., who after undergoing chemotherapy for a year was granted permission to attend her senior prom. Problem was, Alvis didn't have a date. That's when Richardson stepped in.

Not to be outdone by his future Cleveland Browns teammate, Haden also stepped in to make a fan's dream come true for their prom.

For added effect, Haden not only showed up on time at Grendel's house but also in his white Lamborghini.

A day before his wedding to Evelyn Lozada, Ochocinco received a tweet from a woman named Cheryl Minton, who asked the new Miami Dolphins receiver for encouragement and prayers after her husband of 30 years passed away in June. Ochocinco promptly responded with a wedding invite.

The London Warriors, an amateur football team, went looking for a guest speaker ahead of their showdown against the London Blitz. The Warriors aimed high, and scored a visit from arguably the NFL's best motivational speaker. Lewis unleashed a trademark fire-and-brimstone pep talk to the Warriors. This wasn't Lewis' first goodwill gesture of the offseason. In May, the Baltimore Ravens linebacker helped a 10-year-old New York boy overcome his mother's suicide.
