Brandon Marshall, who was the only Denver Broncos player to kneel during the national anthem before last Thursday night's season opener, will donate $300 for each tackle he makes this season to local charities.

Marshall made his announcement on Instagram, posting with a picture of himself and Denver police chief Robert C. White.

"On Thursday, Sept. 8, I took a knee for the National Anthem to take a stand against social injustice," Marshall wrote.

"My intent was not to offend anyone but rather to simply raise awareness and create some dialogue toward affecting positive change in our communities. In the last week, I've had a lot of productive conversations with people I respect, including Chief White of the Denver Police Department. I really appreciate all of them taking the time to listen to me and offer some insight and feedback on ways we can all make a difference. I've also had a lot of time to personally reflect on important issues such as race and gender equality, the treatment of our military veterans, our relationship with law enforcement, educational opportunities for our youth, and many more. I recognize and applaud the significant progress that has been made in these areas made possible only through the hard work of so many dedicated leaders. But, it's clear there is so more work to be done by all of us. Together, we all need to Stand Up for change. This starts with me.''
