Cabrillo Middle School(SANTA CLARA, Calif.) — San Francisco 49er Richard Sherman is making his mark off the football field by paying off thousands of dollars in school lunch debt for public school students.

The day after the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) named Sherman as the Week 11 Community MVP, he handed the principal of Cabrillo Middle School in Santa Clara, California, a “personal check” for $7,491.27 to clear the cafeteria’s outstanding bill.

Sherman was given the honor by the NFLPA on Nov. 22 for his charity work through his two organizations — Richard Sherman Family Foundation and Blanket Coverage
