Tennessee Titans running back Bishop Sankey returned to his roots Tuesday and gave back in the process. Sankey visited Gonzaga Academy where he attended prep school and donated $5,000.00 to the Bulldogs football program. Also donated were signed Gonzaga Prep, University of Washington, and Tennessee Titans items.

Bishop was a highly touted running back who played college ball at the University of Washington. He was the first running back selected in the 2014 NFL Draft when the Tennessee Titans moved up in the second round to snag him at the overall 54th selection. He finished his rookie season with 152 carries for 569 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught 18 passes for 133 yards.
Much respect to Sankey for giving back to the community that supported him and good luck with the auction. You can follow Sankey on twitter at @BishopSankey and on Instagram at @bishopsankey. Follow the Tennessee Titans on twitter at @TennesseeTitans.
Gonzaga Preparatory School, not ‘Academy’. Thanks for the visit Bishop!
