Chris Long is a two time Super Bowl Champion. He won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots (One of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history), and then again with the Philadelphia Eagles. Chris comes from football royalty with a father and brother who have impressive records themselves. Most people would call that legacy, but Chris' real legacy lives off the field. Even though he is a two time Super Bowl champion and the son of NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long, his philanthropic efforts are what's most impressive.
In 2017 Chris donated his entire NFL salary to various charities that push to support various causes including supporting clean drinking water initiatives around the world, military appreciation, and youth education. In this conversation, Chris talks about why he felt the need to support his fellow players in the discussion around police violence in America, and why it is important for athletes to speak out and do something against injustices.
