Community means a lot to New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead, who spent much of his 2020 offseason working to open the Team Armstead Community Center in his hometown of Cahokia, Ill.
Inspired by the words of late South African statesman Nelson Mandela, who Armstead quoted as saying, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” he personally funded construction of the 40,000 square-foot facility and described it as a “home-base” where young people can take classes in financial literacy and learn trades to better equip them for entering the workforce.
