A boy named Keaton has been getting bullied at middle school, and his mother, Kimberley Jones, posted a video of him discussing the abuse.
None of this is okay. But what’s amazing is that he’s gotten some tremendous responses on social media, including from Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker. Walker saw the video, like many of us, and decided to do something about it.
He offered words of encouragement and invited Keaton and his family to a Titans game later this year.

It’s always amazing to see pro athletes using their influence for causes like this.
In addition, Tennessee Volunteers receiver Tyler Byrd reached out to Keaton to set up a trip for him and some teammates to visit his school.

Keaton is a brave young man. It’s just tremendous that he’s being lifted up right now in this manner, and we wish him nothing but the best in the days to come.
