Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Wallace Gilberry decided to play Kris Kringle on a recent shopping trip to Target.

Gilberry bestowed a random act of kindness Monday to a young family he encountered at the store in Newport, Ky., purchasing them "a PS4 and a bunch of games" according to a bystander's Instagram post:

"I saw Wallace walking in the store with these kids and dad chasing after him. When I walked by a few mins later, I heard the dad and kids going crazy. Later when he walked by I told him that was a bad ass move. He said thanks, 'everyone needs to be blessed.'"

Gilberry confirmed the good deed through a Bengals representative, but declined comment, preferring that it stand on its own. This isn't the first time Gilberry has paid it forward. This Reddit thread has a few anecdotes of Gilberry's kindness, from buying everyone at a sushi restaurant a shot of Sake to treating the training staff to dinner while in Kansas City.

It's safe to say that a few young boys in Newport have a new favorite player.
