Running back Warrick Dunn is back in Tampa, after a five-year hiatus.  And he’s already up to the same old stuff that he pulled during his first stint there.

He’s giving time and money to make the lives of less fortunate people better.

On Tuesday, three more single-parent families received assistance from Dunn in getting into a home of their own.  In all, Dunn has helped 77 single-parent households makes down payments on fully-furnished homes.

He does it to honor his late mother, Betty Smothers, who was killed in 1993.  “If anyone really knows me, and knows about my life, my mom was my best friend,” Dunn said.  “She meant everything to me in this world.  To be able to live out her legacy, I’m just really honored.”

(Editor’s note:  We initially mentioned this item in a One-Liner on Wednesday afternoon.  But because several members of PFT Planet commented that they’d like to see Dunn get more love on this site for his good works, we opted to make special mention of the item here.  And as to anyone who thinks we don’t appreciate Dunn, also us to re-introduce you to the winner of the first PFT Joe Delaney Award.)
