For those that know, the Donaldsonville football just auctioned for $65k at Danny Wuerffels ⁦@DesireStreet⁩ Cup UF/UGA gala. Putting it as the most valuable autographed ball in history at more than $500k over time. God is good!

Great night supporting @DannyWuerffel and his @DesireStreet cause. Some unbelievable testimony and awesome stories over the course of the night. Gator nation is lucky to have a man that has made it his personal mission to serve others while also representing @UF the way he does

Honored to share the stage in LA with my friend LaTonya, one of our amazing @DesireStreet partners serving @PAWKidsatGP in Atlanta's Grove Park neighborhood. Super grateful for @nicknanton1 and his producers and crew for kicking off a new documentary on the stories of Desire Street and the @WuerffelFdn
We met some incredible people and look forward to the journey together. Stay tuned!

Hurricane Katrina made landfall twenty years ago and devastated much of New Orleans' Ninth Ward, including the campus of Desire Street and our home. As we reflect and remember those affected by the tragedy, we are also mindful of the new birth God brought forth after the storm.

Ten years ago, we embarked to rebuild on our original campus and today Giving Hope and Thrive New Orleans continue to serve the people of the Desire community with love and grace. And as of 2025, Desire Street has had the honor to serve over 40 neighborhood ministry leaders and their communities. God is good!!

I’ve been traveling all day today but just want to add my prayers for everyone in New Orleans. As the city where I began my NFL career it was more importantly where I was introduced to @DesireStreet which became my true calling to NOLA. In the midst of tragedy especially for dear friends who lost a nephew in the attack, Jess and my hearts are with you. We love you, New Orleans. God bless.
