Randall Cobb Narrates NFL’s ‘Say Their Stories’ PSA on Sharonda Coleman-Singleton

Randall Cobb Narrates NFL's 'Say Their Stories' PSA on Sharonda Coleman-Singleton

Continuing their season-long NFL initiative, Say Their Stories, which highlights social justice and raising awareness of systemic racism that has resonated throughout the nation, the NFL has released a new PSA.

The new PSA is focused on Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, a 45-year-old mother, speech pathologist and assistant pastor who was one of the nine victims of the 2015 Emanuel AME Church Shooting in Charleston, S.C. 

“I think of my mother. I think of my aunt. I think of my grandmother going to church and sitting in a Wednesday service,” Cobb said. “It’s in my mind, I feel like it will always be something that’s in my mind when these traumatic situations happen. Hearing Chris [Singleton] speak about that situation and his family’s ability to be able to forgive and to know that that’s what his mother would have done in that situation is very powerful. And if we can continue to push forward our lives could be a lot more cohesive.”

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb narrates the pieces after wearing her name on the back of his helmet all season.

DeAndre Hopkins Donates NFL Playoff Check To Help Murdered Girl’s Family In Houston

In the wake of Jazmine Barnes’ family mourning her horrific death, Houston Texans’ DeAndre Hopkins has stepped in and pledged his playoff check to the Barnes family to help with funeral costs and support Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, journalist Shaun King and Mayor Sylvester Turner to help find Jazmine’s killer.

Aside from donating his $29K check to the family, Hopkins will dedicate Saturday’s wildcard game against the Indianapolis Colts to Jazmine, according to ESPN.

Hopkins said,

“When I see Jazmine Barnes; face, I see my own daughter, I’m pledging my playoff check this week to help her family with funeral costs and to support Shaun King, Mayor Sylvester Turner and Sheriff Ed Gonzalez bring this man to justice, On Saturday, I will be playing in your honor Jazmine.”

As we reported, the 7 year old girl was shot and killed in a Houston-area Walmart by an unidentified white make in what appears to be a racially motivated attack.
