Cornerback Pierre Desir donates 10K meals to Houston

Cornerback Pierre Desir donated 10,000 meals to the Houston Food Bank this week to help an area devastated by blast of wintry weather.

Desir, a two-time nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, doesn't have any connection to Houston. He just felt "it was the right thing to do," according to his agent.

A deadly winter storm has knocked out power for millions of Texas residents and left many without water. Grocery stores have also been forced to close.

Desir, 30, is known for his work in the community over his seven-year NFL career.
