New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and defensive captain Blake Martinez were recently present at an event at Somers High School in Somers, New York that was “a celebration of the arrival of flag football at the high school level in New York State.”
The two Giants star players helped conduct a football clinic that consisted of around 200 high school girls from Section 1 schools in the area.
“We had a lot of fun today, taking the girls through drills and just helping out. A lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm,” Jones said, via Giants.com. “It’s been tough with COVID the past couple of years. We haven’t been able to get out in person as much and actually be in the community. But being back out here today, back on the field playing football, teaching and coaching and spending time with these high school football players has been a lot of fun.”
The Giants recently donated $60,000 to the to the NYSPHSAA (New York State Public High School Athletic Association) in “support the inaugural girls flag football leagues in Section 1 and Section 4.”
“I always look back when I was a kid, any moment anybody came out, whoever it was, to help out even for five minutes, it always meant a lot to me,” said Martinez. “It showed that people doing the things that I wanted to become were able to take that time to teach me things.”
