NFL Star Keeps Returning to Help Kids From His Hometown

Children of all ages can count on an assist from this NFL all-star.

New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson backed by fellow teammates and his foundation, T.E.A.M. 96, are always lending a hand to young, aspiring athletes, hungry families, and breast cancer survivors.

T.E.A.M. 96, named for his jersey number, offers scholarship-based awards to students in Wilkerson’s hometown of Linden, New Jersey, giving $1,000 towards college expenses. This year, 13 students have received the financial aid—but the most fun part for Wilkerson is getting to play in the dirt with the kids.
