Keelon Russell, a five-star quarterback in the Class of 2025, was seen handing out Thanksgiving gifts in Duncanville, Texas, alongside American youth football player Madden San Miguel, also known as Baby Gronk. Russell was joined by his Duncanville teammate Dakorien Moore and Dallas Cowboys star defenseman Micah Parsons.

The group was filmed delivering Thanksgiving Turkeys in the Duncanville neighborhood. Baby Gronk shared a video on his Instagram account showing himself and the athletes delivering gifts in the community.

"I HAD GREAT TIME PASSING OUT TURKEYS FOR THANKSGIVING," read the caption of the post.

Baby Gronk also shared pictures with Russell, Moore and Parsons on his Instagram story. The Duncanville duo also engaged in a fun debate about this year's Heisman winner after Miguel asked them about the potential winner between Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty.
