Marshall told Jaden to do the same, even when it came to his Cowboys fandom. Saundra told Marshall and Kelley, who also bought Jaden a copy of "NBA 2K18," to stay humble and true to themselves. I don't know if people agree with it, but he just doesn't care what people say and that's inspired me and probably inspired other people."īefore everyone parted ways, they took a photo, exchanged hugs and even phone numbers. I wouldn't even do that, but he did, and I really like him for standing out. "He risked getting fired, which was a big thing. "I liked how he wasn't afraid to show what he thought," Jaden, who is African-American, said in a phone interview Thursday of Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality last season. Jaden told Marshall he was a Cowboys fan, just like his dad, and a 49ers fan because of Kaepernick, who was released in March and remains out of a job. While Kelley took a phone call, she and Jaden chatted with Marshall, who is on injured reserve for the second consecutive season after tearing his patella tendon during training camp, about his rehab and growing up in North Carolina. Saundra said she was shocked when Marshall told her he and Kelley played for the Redskins. To make an impact on somebody, I have no problem with it." His family is probably able to do whatever they want, but everybody is not able to have the stuff that we have the luxury of having. "I wish someone would've done something like that for me when I was growing up.
Kelley said Marshall overheard Jaden mention something about saving up to buy the video game console and Marshall asked his teammate if he was interested in pitching in to buy it for him. Jaden said Marshall and Kelley had complimented him on his Colin Kaepernick 49ers jersey when he walked into the video game store to inquire about the price of the Xbox One. "I was like, 'Really?' Now mind you, I didn't know they were Redskins, and neither did Jaden." "Is it okay if we buy your son an Xbox?" Marshall asked Saundra, who was flattered Marshall thought she was Jaden's mom. When they entered GameStop, Jaden introduced Saundra to the two men in shorts and T-shirts who had made the generous offer: Washington Redskins running backs Keith Marshall and Rob Kelley. "So I'm like, I'm going to bust up in there and bust his bubble." "The first thing I'm thinking is there's some pedophile trying to buy my grandson an Xbox," she said.
