Head coach Lovie Smith and linebackers Christian Kirksey and Kamu Grugier-Hill surprised the team with the gifts at a pregame dinner Thursday night before the Coyotes' home opener.

It will be their first home game since a gunman killed 21 people — 19 of them students — at Robb Elementary School May 24, about 2 ½ miles from the high school.

Roland Ramirez, a Texans athletic trainer, is a native of Uvalde and urged the Texans to visit the Coyotes.

"It's been tough. Some really close friends have lost loves ones ... so it hits home for me," Ramirez said, via Yahoo! Sports.

"Whenever you have the opportunity to be of help, to be of inspiration or just to be a person that can get, you know, things of these young men's minds — you can talk ball with, or talk life with — you just want to be there," Kirksey told ABC News. "I think that we have a job not just playing football but to be role models and to be a helping hand."
