With Christmas coming up, there are some incredible acts of kindness going on all around the country.
On Tuesday, though, former LSU OT Andrew Whitworth, now a lineman for the Los Angeles Rams, made 550 elementary school kids’ days.
As you can see in the video below, shared on Twitter by Los Angeles Times reporter Lindsey Thiry, Whitworth surprised all the kids with bicycles, sending them into an excited frenzy:

The delivery of the bikes took two semi trucks and another big truck, according to Thiry:

That was quite a gesture from Whitworth, and one that won’t be forgotten by the children who got an exciting early Christmas present.
Whitworth and the Rams are 9-4 and seem to be a lock to make the playoffs. He definitely just made 550 new fans on Tuesday afternoon.
