Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu did a good deed in the community and didn’t want any credit or recognition for it on Wednesday.

However, it didn’t go unnoticed when he paid for a birthday celebration at the Kirin House Japanese Restaurant on Olde Peachtree Road in Lawrenceville.

“While dining out, several Atlanta Falcons were sitting at an adjacent table,” wrote Wayne B. Moss, a former sports reporter, NFL public relations executive and Boy and Girls Club official on his Facebook page. “No one in the restaurant recognized any of the players. Shout out to Mohammad Sanu for the boss move of the day!

“A mom and six teen girls were having a birthday celebration at the next table. When the bill arrived, the mother was told, to her surprise, it was already paid by Sanu, who had already left the restaurant.”

Sanu is a regular at the restaurant.
