Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi celebrated his team's Super Bowl triumph by giving back to the city's canine population.
Nnadi will pay the adoption fees of 91 dogs who were in a local animal shelter Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.
The KC Pet Project's usual adoption fee is around $150. Nnadi will cover the cost regardless of how long it takes for the dogs to find new homes.
A spokesperson for the organization told ESPN that 20 dogs had been adopted through the program as of early Monday afternoon.
The defensive tackle paid the adoption fee for one dog every time the Chiefs won a game during the season.
