The running back announced through his foundation that he’d worked with the non-profit Pay Away the Layaway to pay off the layaway accounts for 363 families, according to a news release.
He shared that news in a video call with 22 members of the military.
“We are extremely happy to do it and so grateful for all of you guys who have served,” McCaffrey said in the video.
