Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson donated $10,000 to help a fundraising effort to build a home for a paralyzed college football player.

Devon Gales, who played at Southern University, suffered a spinal cord injury during a kickoff return against Georgia in September 2015. Georgia is looking to raise $500,000 to build an accessible home for Gales.

Watson, who played at Georgia from 2001 to 2003, tweeted out his donation on Monday and encouraged other former Georgia players -- such as A.J. Green, Todd Gurley, Malcolm Mitchell and Geno Atkins -- to contribute.
