Former Navy football standout Malcolm Perry is doing his part to combat coronavirus.
Perry, who is now a member of the Miami Dolphins, acknowledged this week that he contracted and recovered from COVID-19. The Tennessee native, who reported to the Dolphins team facility on Monday, participated in a team initiative aimed at helping others recover from the virus.
Perry was among several Miami players that donated blood plasma as part of a partnership with Baptist Health South Florida.
“I was surprised initially but was happy because I was presented with the opportunity to give back and donate plasma and help people in need,” Perry said during a video posted to the team website. “Being able to give back to people who weren’t fortunate enough to react the same way you did to the virus and give back to the community was important.”
