NFL Player Engagement
Throughout all of October, NFL players were decked out in pink gear to raise awareness of breast cancer research as part of the NFL’s “A Crucial Catch” campaign. Players’ support of this important cause, and cancer research in general, extends far beyond their uniforms on game day. Several players took to the Player Engagement blog (http://nflpe.sportsblog.com) to share what October means to them and why they’re so passionate about this cause. Check out the links below to read about how players around the league are supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
