Copied! NASHVILLE – When Titans safety Kevin Byard entered the NFL in 2016, he watched the veteran leaders in the locker room, and admired how many of them were so generous in the Nashville community. It made an impression on Byard. But even before then, the Middle Tennessee State University product had decided he wanted to impact those around him once he made it to the NFL. He'd thought about doing so because of his upbringing, and because of his mother. "I always told myself: When I got to this point, I wanted to give back to the community," Byard said. "One thing I have learned is it's a lot better to give than receive, just because of the way it makes you feel."
