Randle was arrested Tuesday, two days after Dallas’ victory against the Seattle Seahawks. The Cowboys fined Randle one full game check — the maximum they could under the collective bargaining agreement.
When MeUndies and King heard about Randle’s mistake, they reached out to the running back’s agent, Erik Burkhardt. The two spent this week trying to make the lesson Randle learned a constructive one for others.
“There is no excuse for my mistake last week, and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Randle said. “I let down my coaches, teammates, and family. My agent and I have spent a lot of time looking for ways I can turn my situation into a learning experience for young people.
“Partnering with MeUndies allows me the opportunity to give back to others less fortunate than myself, and spread a positive message of not making the same mistake twice.”
Said King: “We told Joseph that if he was willing to take responsibility for his actions, apologize, and take action, we would donate $15K worth of product that he could give back to his community — so that’s what we plan to do.
“Everybody deserves a second chance because people make mistakes. We want to help him put his best foot forward, so he can get back to setting a good example for the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys, and the kids who look up to him.”
