Dre Kirkpatrick warms up for Thursday night's NFL game at nursing home

Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick will lead the Cincinnati secondary into the Bengals' Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. While he'll be playing on NFL Network in a nationally televised game, Kirkpatrick already has been a star on Thursday -- at least in a supporting role.

The former Gadsden City High School and Alabama standout hosted a Thursday tailgate party at a nursing home, reported Brandon Saho of WLWT-TV in Cincinnati. When one of the residents started dancing, Kirkpatrick was delighted -- and part of a popular social-media video for the afternoon.
