Former Florida Gators safety Major Wright dedicating his life after football to helping others and spreading the word about his Good Deed Tuesday.

Hard-hitting former Florida Gators safety Major Wright faced hard times after his NFL career ended.

Broke and depressed, Wright was in a dark place while seeking purpose in the second chapter of his life beyond football.

“Football was my identity,” Wright said. “It was who I was. So at one point I was confused. I was just on this earth, living, and at one point I did not want to be on this earth because of how things were going.”

A new calling came four years ago, one that transformed Wright’s outlook and spawned a passion to help others.
