Late-night TV was filled with professional athletes last night. While Mike Tyson appeared on Conan to speak about Ronda Rousey (and other things), Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about his 2015-16NFL season as well as his battle with mental illness and his Project 375 venture, which seeks to help others with mental illnesses.

Marshall touched on the group therapy that he received while dealing with his specific mental illness, the importance of raising awareness for different mental illnesses, and more. And at the end of his appearance, he gave Colbert a bunch of gifts, including sneakers, a T-shirt, and some nail polish that he’s using to promote Project 375. But he didn’t stop there. In addition to giving him the gifts, Marshall also (begrudgingly!) allowed Colbert to paint his nails. Hey, anything for the cause, right?!
