On Thursday though, Bradford was trying to give the people of Joplin hope for another reason.
Bradford, along with teammates Adam Goldberg, Jason Brown, Jason Hall, and James Laurinatis, took a trip down to Joplin, Missouri to visit families that have been relocated due to the destruction of the recent tornado. Bradford and his teammates were also joined by former Rams tight end Ernie Conwell and NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith.
Although Bradford leads the headlines in the nice gesture by the Rams players, it was offensive lineman Goldberg who came up with the idea.
"Growing up in Oklahoma, I know exactly what tornadoes can do and the effect they can have on people's lives," Bradford said. "When Adam asked me to come down here, definitely we wanted to get down here and help out as much as we could."
The Rams players spent their time handing out player cards, posing for pictures, and throwing the ole' pigskin around.
They were just trying to get things back to normal. Which is exactly what the people of Joplin deserve.
And more than likely, Bradford instantly became the most popular NFL quarterback in Joplin.
