Patriots linebacker Anf ernee Jennings had the music pumping at Almont Park in Mattapan as kids tossed footballs around, got haircuts, and grabbed new backpacks with school supplies and an autographed photo inside. Jennings brought some of his teammates along with him to enjoy the fun and spend time in the community. Fellow outside linebackers Keion White and K'Lavon Chaisson were among those who stopped by.
Jennings took pictures, signed autographs, and even stopped to tie a child's shoe when he spotted it was untied. Attention to detail matters, even on a sunny Saturday. "Obviously, being able to give away free stuff is a blessing. I'm not from here, so Boston has really become a second home," Jennings said. "I really appreciate being able to do this, and the community accepting me doing this."
