As professional athletes, we are all approached with worthy causes to support and ways to give back to the youth in our respective communities. What makes one better than the other? Why choose this one instead of that one? The answer: Support the one that you relate to the most and will make a difference in someone’s life.
I have found a way to do just that. It is the F.I.N.E.S.S.E. Foundation Football Camp at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. This is a full contact, (yes, I said “full contact”) football camp for youth ages 7 - 14. It will be held...
To all my fans and followers, please help me Save A Soldiers life. After speaking to an U.S. Army Officer of the 101st Airborne Division in Kandahar, Afghanistan; the Officer described the need to assist the youth in Afghanistan. The need for educational supplies was at the top of the list along with winter clothing. The gift of these school supplies, something taken for granted by many children around the world, is one that will be remembered by these children for a lifetime. Many of these children and their teachers risk their lives everyday just to get an education, but to them it is a...
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am really excited about the III & Long Foundation and The Fred Taylor Foundation coming together and donating Thanksgiving dinners to 150 needy families in the Belle Glade area again this year.

Although Fred or I will not be able to attend this year due to our schedules, I would like to thank everyone for their participation in helping to make this event a success year after year...
I want to send out a very special Thank You to all that attended the Santonio Holmes David Clowney Bowling with a New York Jet event on Monday night. Not only did we have a great time but we were able to raise money for two great causes: III & Long Foundation and David Clowney Foundation.
This was my first event as a New York Jet and I am so humbled by the amount of support we received from the fans. I really enjoyed meeting all of you and bowling a few frames with as many as I could. I am looking forward to next year’s event and I hope...
When most people think about football players, they think about the games on Sundays and the high life and parties. What they don’t usually think about is just how much work we put in during the off-season to get our minds and bodies ready for the grind of the regular season. I’m out there putting in work all the time, lifting weights, doing cardio and catching tons of passes to get ready, but people don’t see that.
That’s why I like training camp, because it’s an opportunity for all of us to get together and start building towards a Super Bowl...
