Jessie Bates III signed a four-year, $64 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, and he's immediately going to put some of that money to great use.
The veteran safety told Kelly Price of Fox 5 Sports that his JB3 Single Mothers Initiative plans to donate $1 million to single moms and other organizations around the Atlanta area.
Bates' mother inspired his initiative after she raised five children on her own, working two jobs to support them, per Jared Goffinet of Fox 19.
In December he was named the Week 15 NFLPA Community MVP for treating six single moms and their children to a Christmas shopping spree, along with renting out a movie theater for the kids to hang out and watch movies while their mothers got dinner.
