Local news site Fox 19 reports that the professional football player recently gifted a family of seven a new PlayStation 4 (the Star Wars Battlefront bundle specifically), a handful of games, and an extra controller. Here’s how the scene played out on Monday night in a northern Kentucky Target:

“With their five children in tow, Angelica Yeager and her husband were walking the store aisles when they encountered Wallace Gilberry, a defensive end for the Bengals. Gilberry stopped Yeager’s husband and said, ‘I want to bless you and your family tonight,'” Fox 19 reports (via BleacherReport). “He then bought the family a PlayStation 4 and a handful of games.”

A passerby in the store snapped a photo of the exchange and posted it on Instagram.

“Just watched Wallace Gilberry of the Cincinnati Bengals buy a young family with a bunch of boys a PS4 and bunch of games at target tonight,” the Instagram user said. “The kids and dad were going crazy and the mom was in tears. I was big fan of him before but I’m a even bigger fan now. What a stand up dude.”

Yeager added: “We’re definitely ordering his jersey now. He’s got life-long fans.”

This apparently wasn’t Gilberry’s first random act of kindness. This Reddit page (via Cincinnati.com) is flooded with examples of the NFL player giving back, including one instance where he bought everyone in a sushi restaurant a shot of sake.
