NEW ORLEANS (WDSU) — A woman in Metairie is making sure Who Dat Nation knows about a Saints rookie and his good deed in the grocery store.
Leslie Pedigo says she was standing in line at Rouses and saw a man walk up behind her with one item. She told the cashier to let him go since he only had a bag of shrimp.
She says he smiled and told the cashier to ring up all the groceries together. After she refused, she said he told her “My Momma always taught me to do good deeds, and I’d like to bless you today. Please don’t take that blessing from me.”
Moments later, the cashier told her who footed the bill. It was Saints rookie Christen Miller. The Saints drafted the Defensive End from Georgia earlier this year. She ran after him to get a picture in the parking lot.
Pedigo posted the story on Facebook and said this about Miller:
“To the New Orleans Saints—you didn’t just draft an athlete. You drafted a young man of character. And to Momma Miller… thank you. Thank you for raising a son who understands that true strength is shown through humility, generosity, and faith. Your words clearly stayed with him, and because of that, a complete stranger went home reminded that there is still so much good in this world…thank you for your kindness. You reminded me that there are still good people in this world.”
