New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport is stepping up to assist communities in Louisiana and Texas that were devastated by Hurricane Laura, the recent Category 4 storm that made landfall near Lake Charles, La. on Aug. 27. Davenport announced Wednesday that he and Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb are joining forces to raise money for relief in those hurricane-ravaged areas.
Davenport, a San Antonio native and third-year pro in New Orleans, is well aware of how destructive hurricanes can be. So it’s great to see him step up when so many people are in such a tight spot.
