Cowboys Care! WATCH: Jalen Tolbert Pays Shoppers Bills at Adidas Store

In this story:
Even in the hot months of the Texas summer, Dallas Cowboys receiver Jalen Tolbert is feeling the Christmas spirit when it comes to both shopping and giving. Store-goers got a nice surprise during a recent trip to an Adidas store, as Tolbert paid for their items and took time to take a group picture.
It's unclear if this Adidas location was in the DFW area or if Tolbert was shopping near his hometown of Mobile, Ala. Either way, it's clear he's looking to make a positive impact for anyone he comes across, Cowboy fans or not.
It looks like while he was shopping at Adidas, #Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert took care of the bill for other customers in line with him.

Tolbert signed a four-year, $5.13 million rookie contract with Dallas after being a third-round pick out of South Alabama last year. This was certainly life-changing money for the 24-year-old, but definitely doesn't mean he has any obligation to pay for the items of random strangers. This makes his act of kindness all the more heart-warming.
And though Tolbert plays for one of the biggest franchises in sports, most people might not recognize him in a non-football setting and "expect" some kind of humbling gesture.
But as the Cowboys creep closer to the start of training camp, Tolbert will be aiming to become more of a household NFL name and reach the heights that are expected out of a third-round pick.
He struggled as a rookie last season, recording just two catches for 12 yards despite entering the season with the expectation that he could be a solid complementary receiver in the Dallas offense. He played a total of 89 offensive snaps and 53 special teams snaps before being inactive for the final five games of the regular season.
Whether or not it gets captured on camera, this likely won't be the final time that Tolbert does something nice for a stranger. And who knows? Maybe next time he does, he'll be a can't-miss face for the sports fans that pass him by.
