Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil earned a Pro Bowl protecting quarterback Deshaun Watson’s blindside in 2019.
Now, Tunsil seeks to have everybody’s back.
The former Miami Dolphins 2016 first-round pick posted a video to his Twitter account Monday inviting people struggling to make ends meet from the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic fallout to send him their consequential bills.
“I want to help in critical times like this,” Tunsil said. “So, if you have any necessities such as light bill, water bill, your car note, your rent, et cetera, what I’m going to have you guys do is send a picture of that to this email, laremycares@gmail.com.
“My team will go through the emails and help in any way that we can. A huge thank you to the workers out there who are putting their life on the line daily for us. Thank you. Peace, love, prosperity, and go Texans.”
I’m also looking to help bring relief to those struggling to get their bills paid. Scroll over to see how you can potentially receive funds. Everyone please continue to stay safe, wash your hands, and practice social distancing. #LaremyCares pic.twitter.com/GBvGMqwRIq

Though not mentioned in the video, Tunsil’s tweet also stated he will be donating $250,000 to COVID-19 relief, including donations to the Florida Gateway Food Bank in his hometown of Lake City, Fla., in addition to funds appropriated towards Star of Hope Mission in Houston.
Individuals who believe Tunsil can help them are asked to send a picture of the bill to laremycares@gmail.com.
