Cardale Jones to Match Donations to Pay for Fan's Funeral

As one family goes through a tough time, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones is there for support.

Jones recently visited a children's hospital in Columbus, Ohio—a common gesture for the former Ohio State star, who played a memorable game of video game football on a hospital visit in 2015.

On this visit, Jones met a 17-year-old girl from That State Up North (Michigan), but she and her family happened to be huge Buckeyes fans. A "sickle cell warrior," Nautica Ussury died Tuesday.

Jones got word of Nautica's death and stepped in to help the Ussury family in its time of need. He tweeted out a link to a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising money to help the family pay for the funeral. Not only that, but the 24-year-old quarterback is pledging to personally match donations.

Classy move.
