per Joe:
The college football players towered over the elementary-school-aged children, but the friendships formed quickly Saturday morning.
The Citrus Bowl invited Gophers and Missouri players to hang out with a group of underprivileged children from Orlando at DisneyQuest, an indoor interactive theme park.
Gophers running back David Cobb got paired with a young girl, who kept him moving nonstop between arcade games for 90 minutes. Tight end Maxx Williams joked he could hardly keep up with his new friend, a girl about half his size.
“It just kind of gives you a chance to give back,” Gophers senior Donnell Kirkwood said.
“I kind of grew up in an area [in Delray Beach, Fla.] where everybody didn’t have as much. We’re athletes playing D-I football. We get a lot of things, and sometimes you kind of forget what it feels like to not have everything.”
