Bears' Khalil Mack Pays Off Hometown Walmart's $80K Holiday Layaway Bill

Khalil Mack plays linebacker for the Chicago Bears, but he remains loyal to his hometown Fort Pierce, Florida.

The Fort Pierce Walmart posted to its Facebook page Friday that the Khalil Mack Foundation had paid off all active holiday layaway accounts at the store.

A Walmart spokesperson told Jeremy Mikula of the Chicago Tribune on Monday that Mack paid for "300 to 350 accounts—about $80,000 total."

"His foundation came to us and said he wanted to be a secret Santa," store manager Mathias Libardi told Lamaur Stancil of TCPalm.
