New York Times: In a Busy Year, Malcolm Jenkins Raised a Fist and Checked All the Boxes

…

“I realized I could have a far greater impact than I ever had,” said Jenkins, a nine-year veteran.

All he needed was time, and Jenkins already had a lot on his plate. His foundation, which provides leadership and life skills to young people in underserved communities, had expanded to four states. He had also recently opened a high-end clothing store in Philadelphia. The baby was on the way, and the Eagles were suddenly one of the league’s top teams.

Holly Harris, the executive director of the Justice Action Network, enlisted Jenkins to write a letter of support for a program in Ohio that diverts nonviolent drug offenders from prison to community treatment programs. In no time, Jenkins, who played at Ohio State, sent a letter to legislators. Harris said the letter helped save the program.
