OCALA, Fla. (AP) — A rookie NFL player has paid off the layaway debts of five dozen people at a shopping center store in Florida.
Ulysees Gilbert, a linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, on Monday paid off thousands of dollars in debts for 60 people at a Burlington Coast Factory at the Shady Oaks Shopping Center in Ocala, Florida.
Gilbert graduated from a local high school. He said he got the idea when he saw other professional athletes paying off layaway debts on social media.
