Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long made sure not to let a good deed go unnoticed after a trash collector returned his wallet.
Long had apparently dropped his wallet at the end of his driveway when Dan Hughes — who was running his garbage route — gave Long back his wallet. In appreciation, Long gave Hughes tickets to the Bears' game Sunday against the 49ers.

Trash guy just dropped my wallet off at my house - he found it bottom of my driveway. He will now be attending the game this weekend %BOOM

— Kyle (@Ky1eLong) December 1, 2015Much to the dismay of Long and Hughes, Hughes' bosses won't let him go to the game because he isn't allowed to accept gifts while on the job, per company policy.
Long, though, said he is dedicated to finding a way to get Hughes to the game.
I'll figure something out https://t.co/VDOeNlpteS
