Devonta Freeman is very wealthy and very busy as an NFL player but that does not stop him from being kind to his neighbors.

The Falcons running back was out for a jog when he saw an 82-year-old woman struggling with a lawnmower, so he decided to help out Eleanor Szendel and her daughter-in-law Denise, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

The pair immediately recognized the star, as four of Eleanor’s grandchildren attended Florida State, where Freeman was a standout running back before joining Atlanta.

The Democrat reports that after Freeman helped to unload the mower's bag of clipping he finished his jog by running a few more laps around the block.
