Los Angeles Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth spent his 36th birthday giving back to a local elementary school.

Whitworth stopped by Grape Street Elementary on Tuesday morning to present every student at the school with a new bicycle.

The bikes were paid for entirely by Whitworth.

"To personally, yourself, put your money where your mouth is and what you believe in, I think it lets the kids know that you're not just saying something because you're told to be there that day and you're wearing a Rams jersey or a Bengals jersey or whatever jersey it is," Whitworth told Lindsey Thirty of the Los Angeles Times.

"... To me, that's what means the most to them, is to know that it's real. And that's what I want, is it to be authentic and real to them."
