Stephen Tulloch is doing incredible charity work in his post-NFL career.
A few days ago, we pointed out how Stephen Tulloch joined several other NFL players, past and present, to help build homes and schools in Haiti. It appears, Tulloch is far from done with his philanthropic efforts. Tulloch is now in Jamaica working with the charity Helping Hands in Jamaica to help build schools for children in need: Stephen Tulloch is a great person.
In his retirement press conference from April, Tulloch emphasized how much more to life there is than his playing career. ?It?s not all about the accolades and your statistics, it?s about the impact you have on people?s lives,? Tulloch said.
Per their Instagram accounts, both Josh Bynes and Tahir Whitehead are also in Jamaica with Tulloch.

Calvin Johnson had the fourth-best season for a wide receiver of the past 30 years, according to Football Outsiders (ESPN Insider required). His 2011 season, where he pulled in 96 catches for 1,680 yards and 16 touchdowns, wasn?t even his best statistical season, but because he did it on fewer targets, it was considered more impressive by Football Outsiders? metrics.

Interestingly enough, no Barry Sanders season landed in the top 10 among running back performances in the past 30 years.
UPDATE: Apparently, Sanders landed just inside the top 20: 1990 Barry Sanders ranks No. 19 among RB.
He was 1st in run value, 2nd in rec value that year.
1997 is also in the top 30.

You can make a case that?s true for any top NFL quarterback, including the Matthew Stafford, who is expected to top the $25 million annual average when he re-ups with the Detroit Lions.
