Patriots Rookie Chase Winovich Pays off Lunch Debt for Entire Home School District
By Ian Anderson
It is officially giving season, and it seems like NFL players are trying to outdo their peers with various donations and generosity.
New England Patriots rookie linebacker Chase Winovich decided to take it up a notch when he paid school lunch debts for every single student in his old school district in Jefferson Hills, PA.

Winovich has been a stud on the field for the Patriots already, and this gesture makes him a stud off of it, too.
School lunch debts shouldn't even be a thing, but the fact that they are and the Pats rookie decided to take care of 'em for every single kid in his district is absolutely fantastic.
Heartfelt thanks to TJ Alum & NE Patriots @Wino for paying off all of our students’ free and reduced lunch debt! According to Chase, “Growing up in TJ, the community has always been so important to me. It’s great to be able to give back during the holidays! #WErTJ pic.twitter.com/7yX43QVKid

Winovich received a heartfelt thank you from all the students and staff in the West Jefferson Hills School District for this generous donation.
In response, Winovich simply said, "It is great to be able to give back during the Holidays," and he is absolutely right. The holidays are a time of giving, and Mr. Winovich absolutely smashed this out of the park.
NFL players really can be the best people, too.
