Michael Thomas was out delivering toys to patients less than 24 hours after setting an NFL record



Michael Thomas’ Twitter handle happens to be ‘@Cantguardmike’ and he isn’t lying.

The 26-year-old Los Angeles native has put together one of the greatest seasons ever by a wide receiver as he heads into the final week of the season with an NFL record 145 receptions and a league-leading 1,688 receiving yards.​

Setting an NFL record is pretty great, but Thomas had an even better day on Monday.

Thomas didn’t waste any time getting back out into the community once the Saints returned home to New Orleans as he made a trip to the Oshsner Health Hospital for Children to deliver gifts to the patients.

Getting to meet one of your favourite players is already an awesome surprise, but when that favourite player comes bearing Christmas gifts it makes the visit even more memorable.



Thomas expected to do all the surprising on Monday afternoon, but it turns out the kids had a very special surprise waiting for the Saints receiver that he genuinely appreciated.



Thank you beautiful souls ❤️ https://t.co/Z7eiUaqaxb — Michael Thomas (@Cantguardmike) December 23, 2019

It’s always awesome when an athlete is a role model both in the game and away from it.
