Smith-Schuster said there were times as he was growing up when he didn’t get a gift or had to share one.
Fast forward to now — the wide receiver says he wants to give back to families who might be struggling.
He said, “It’s just nice that I have an opportunity to be a role model to these kids and to give back to the community.”
