Something that never gets enough coverage in the NFL are the things that players do off the field to create positive change in their communities. Arik Armstead did exactly that in his hometown of Sacramento, hosting his inaugural charity weekend for his foundation to promote equal opportunity education.
The weekend started out with a red carpet Gala on Friday night with several 49ers in attendance to support. Richard Sherman, Marquise Goodwin, Jaquiski Tartt, Ahkello Witherspoon and former teammate Tony Jerod-Eddie were all booted and suited as well as Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson, who went to high school with Armstead.
