During this rough time we are currently living in that has heavily impacted the sports world, New York Giants offensive lineman Nate Solder and his family have donated one million dollars to Compassion International to help kids in poverty.
Solder appeared on the ‘Team Up’ live show to discuss the virtual draft and how the pandemic has impacted the football world, and in particular the NFL Draft.
Solder joined Trent Dilfer, Nick Foles, Matt Hasselbeck and Carson Palmer on the show hosted by Sports Spectrum’s Jason Ramano and Fox Sports’ Brock Huard.
With the donation from the Solder family, Compassion International took to twitter to show their appreciation
This is incredible! Thank you for caring so much for children and families in poverty. So grateful for you! #COVID19 #TeamUp https://t.co/iPftsghm9S

Solder, of course, signed with the Giants in the 2018 offseason and became one of the richest offensive linemen in the league with a four-year, $62 million contract. Solder had a less than desirable year last season and many thought he might be a trade candidate for Big Blue.
Recently, Shaun O’Hara had said that Solder has his best football left.
Regardless, Solder has continued to be an outstanding citizen for the Giants off the field. Solder was the Giants’ nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award and remains a constant leader in community service.
The coronavirus has dramatically impacted the entire country and it is nice for the Giants’ offensive lineman to give back to the community in a way he obviously has compassion for. Solder’s efforts off the field continue to make a difference in the community, even in a difficult time for our country.
