See What This NFL Player Did to Combat Breast Cancer

If you watch NFL football, you'll notice the League goes to great lengths to support October as Breast Cancer Awareness month.

But one player with the Pittsburgh Steelers took it a step further. According to The Root, DeAngelo Williams recently lost his mother to breast cancer. To honor his mother, Williams is paying for 53 mammograms through his charity, the DeAngelo Williams Foundation.
