When someone is called to help, it can come at anytime and in any form. For former Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell, who now plays for the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, that time came a few weeks back when he was talking with his best friend from his hometown of Richmond, Va.
Ferrell’s friend described how tough things have been for him and his family due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation got Ferrell thinking. He is in a position where he can help, so that is what he decided to do.
“It kind of got accelerated because I was talking to my best friend, who I grew up with, and hearing from him, how it is a struggle for him,” Ferrell said on ESPN’s First Take earlier this week.
