Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine is typically the one who gets the spotlight as a player in the NFL, but he's about to give way in the family to his young nephew Austin.





If you want a feel-good story to start your week, this young man thoughtfulness will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face.

Four-year-old Austin Perine, cousin of #Redskins RB Samaje Perine, has been donating his allowance to help feed the homeless in Alabama: https://t.co/aJGwtfBdr5 pic.twitter.com/HHQdUx0Sfg — Washington Redskins (@Redskins) May 21, 2018

Most little kids at that age are not worried about things of that nature or even have an understanding of what being homeless means, but Austin learned all about it while watching Animal Planet.





Hoping that none of the animals would be left by their parents, he decided to apply that compassion to the people struggling on the streets in his neighborhood.





Watch the young man explain his efforts and how he has set up an account for others to donate and help his cause.

It's safe to say that Austin's parents did a stand-up job raising this young, inspiring philanthropist.





Samaje should bring him to some games in 2018, so that Austin can get the standing ovation he deserves.
