Take Jenkins, for example. An outspoken proponent of criminal justice reform, the ninth-year pro has met with lawmakers on several occasions to discuss how to improve race relations between communities of color and local police departments. Additionally, he has held meetings with Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross and conducted ride-alongs with Philly police.

Jenkins has also taken it upon himself to help these communities. In 2016 alone, the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation launched “a new educational program in Philadelphia; celebrat[ed] the first college cohort of Malcolm Jenkins Scholars in Louisiana; assist[ed] 1,200 families with food and essential resources in Ohio and mentor[ed] 425 youth through the 6th annual Next Level Youth Football Camp in New Jersey among other events and programs throughout the year.”

And it doesn’t stop with Jenkins.
