* snip * But no matter what the Seminoles do on the field this season, it will pale in comparison to what receiver Travis Rudolph did off of it on Tuesday.
That's because on Tuesday, Rudolph and several teammates were at Montford Middle School in Tallahassee, and just so happened to be in the cafeteria around lunch time. Rudolph saw a student sitting by himself eating lunch, and Rudolph decided to pull up a chair next to him.

For some reason I can’t get the picture to appear here. It’s worth seeing.
Especially after the face-eating student from the same college....
"...That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think, I hope, it shields him. He doesn't seem to notice when people stare at him when he flaps his hands. He doesn't seem to notice that he doesn't get invited to birthday parties anymore....:
Stuff like this fills me with sadness. Adults can be sad all day- that's part of life, but children should not be sad.
On the local news and radio here. Big time props.
I agree. A nice uplifting action by a football player is not often in the news. He could have sat with his teammates or a group of kids wanting him to talk football but for some reason chose the kid sitting alone.
As a true Gator, I like nothing FSU! But, this is a class act!
Travis Rudolph, that was an extremely wonderful thing you did...I hope this stays with the young man through his life and it shows what is in your heart, Travis...
What you said.
A good man.
I am not prejudice because of men like Travis Rudolph.
Great article!! Thanks for posting!
I suspect it will, and the memory may help the young man through tough times in the future.
I suspect that the truth is there are more Travis Rudolph’s in college ball than there are Colin Kaepernick’s.
No FSU fan here but the guy did an admirable thing. Thanks, Travis.
