Grit Week is normally PMT at its most unhinged — challenges, stunts, the kind of content where somebody ends up bruised by Friday. This year they pointed all that energy somewhere that actually matters. The boys partnered with Roc Solid Foundation, the nonprofit that builds backyard playsets for kids battling pediatric cancer, and brought a Jacksonville legend along for the swing.
PMT laid out the mission in one tweet — Roc Solid, a swing set, and a kid who needed a good day.
Blake Bortles continues to be one of the most quietly likable dudes in the PMT orbit. Post-NFL Blake has basically become a recurring character on the show, and watching him in a tool belt swinging a hammer for a charity build is exactly the kind of bit that hits without trying to hit. It's also a strong data point in the never-ending Blake Of The Year campaign.

The whole vlog drops as the centerpiece of this year's Grit Week, with the boys swapping the usual chaos for power drills and a kid's reaction at the reveal. Roc Solid does these builds all over the country, and the PMT audience moving even a fraction of needle on donations is the actual point of putting it out there.

Watch the vlog, throw Roc Solid a few bucks if you've got it, and let the rest of Grit Week get back to being stupid. This part earned the soft spot.
