Lockette and his parents were leaving the hospital and passed through an area populated by the homeless—when they decided to stop and help, according to the report.

"It was a beautiful thing," said Lockette’s father, Earl, to TMZ. "Through helping other people, he helped heal himself. It was therapeutic for everyone."

Ricardo Lockette was injured during a Seahawks game against the Cowboys—and had to have neck surgery to stabilize ligament damage.

On November 5th, Lockette tweeted that he was thankful for the support and was recovering.

According to a team spokesperson, Lockette's neurological signs are all positive.
