Derrick Nnadi really knows how to pay it forward.
The defensive tackle with the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs used Sunday’s victory on the field to help get shelter pets into new homes.
Nnadi, who many might remember as the player who played in the confetti during post-game celebrations, is paying the adoption fees for all the animals — 109 of them — at the Kansas City Pet Project.
“The perfect way to cap off this great season,” Nnadi tweeted.

The news came soon after the game.
“We have had an amazing, season-long, partnership with Derrick and he couldn’t have thought of a better ending,” the Pet Project announced.
The Derrick Nnadi Foundation has long been helping, kids, people and pets.
All season, he has been paying pet adoption fees after each Chiefs win.
The Super Bowl, of course, is the biggest win of all.
We’re so honored to partner with @DerrickNnadi who is sponsoring the adoption fees of all of our adoptables dogs at our locations! What an incredibly generous gesture and we want to thank Derrick for his support all season long. pic.twitter.com/xXWqXkQPS9

On Monday, 44 pets found forever homes courtesy of Nnadi.
Six cats and 38 dogs have new families, and up to another 30 are set to leave Tuesday.
Nnadi called the adoptions simply, “Wonderful.”
Kind of like this.
Still, another 40 to 50 pets with ties to a Super Bowl champ are looking for their new families.
44 pets left the shelter today (38 dogs and 6 cats) with new families and up to 30 more are going home tomorrow! Of the 109 dogs that qualified for the sponsorship, around 40-50 of those dogs will still be available after tomorrow, which is incredible. Thank you @DerrickNnadi! pic.twitter.com/dTIzoBGTDy

Nnadi is rather humble about the whole thing.
The perfect way to cap off this great season ‼️ https://t.co/k9KSt05gtt

He is getting nothing but the highest praise from football fans and animal lovers alike.
Let’s just call him a party animal.
