Quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Blake Bortles, bought police officers meals after they were tasked with responding to the Sunday shooting at an E-sports tournament that killed three, including the shooter, and wounded.
Bortles had his foundation deliver meals to the police department and penned a handwritten note thanking the officers.
“Thank you for everything that you do! Your service today and every day is greatly appreciated,” Bortles wrote.
