Former Arizona State Sun Devil and current Chicago Bears defensive lineman Will Sutton spent Friday Fairdale, Illinois helping tornado victims.

Alongside fellow Bears teammates Blake Annen and Ryan Mundy, Sutton assisted with cleaning up debris and destruction in the tiny unincorporated community of 150 located in northern Illinois.

Following the clean-up efforts, Sutton and his teammates paid a visit to the Kirkland Fire Department to meet with first responders and families victimized by the tornadoes.

According to Chicago FOX 32 News, two people were killed in the tornado destruction that occurred on April 9.

The Bears have pledged $100,000 to the United Way of Rock River Valley to help those affected by the devastation.
