NFL Icon Goes Viral for Christmas

For the past few weeks, Super Bowl-winning NFL coach Tony Dungy has been ringing bells, for the Salvation Army. Now his act of service is going viral after someone spotted him and snapped a quick pic.

Jay Feely, an NFL analyst for CBS Sports, tweeted: "Tony Dungy won a Super Bowl as HC, Played in the NFL, Works as a studio analyst on NBC, But I respect him as a man more than anything he has done in football. Here he is (without any fanfare) quietly volunteering with The Salvation Army at the local grocery store-Servant leader." 

Besides being a winning NFL head coach (149-79-0), Athlon Sports reports, Dungy, 67, is only one of four people in the league's history to win a Super Bowl as both a player and head coach. The other three are Mike Ditka, Tom Flores, and Doug Pederson. 

Dungy also tweeted a photo earlier this month, telling his followers to come to see him at the Red Kettle to help provide for those in need this Christmas. 

This high-profile, football icon has been serving with the Salvation Army and humbly living his faith for years, like this post from 2018.

Dungy and his wife Lauren opened up about their new book, Uncommon Influence: Saying Yes to a Purposeful Life, talking about their personal experiences with trusting God and having faith in His plans. 

During an interview with Air 1 Radio, the Dungys explained that they've been fostering children for over 30 years and currently have three children in their care. They also have eight adopted children in their household. 

Lauren said it's been a "blessing" and "a rewarding experience." 

"We believe that we're being obedient to God's calling on our lives," she told the outlet.
