Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and coach Pete Carroll headline a group of players that also includes Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles and Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams.

Sherman’s and Carroll’s role in the documentary will be helping a young boy named Tevin stay out of trouble despite enduring many hardships, similar to those Sherman dealt with as a youth.

Check out a sneak peak featuring Carroll and Sherman below:

Williams will help a girl that is bullied for not having a father, Sproles will help a girl overcome her discomfort with her stutter and Charles will help a boy that is being made bullied for not being “man enough” because his father was murdered, according to the documentary’s website.

This is obviously a great production the NFL is putting together and they should be applauded for doing so.

The film will air on Friday at 7 p.m. ET on USA Network
