'It is strength ... that has put [New England Patriots linebacker Anfernee Jennings] in a position to wrap his arms around his community following the mass shooting in Dadeville,' JoeGoodmanJr writes about Jennings' free 🏈 camp in his hometown.
Jennings is from Jackson’s Gap, Alabama. It’s a tiny lakeside hamlet in Tallapoosa County about five minutes outside of Dadeville. Jackson’s Gap and Dadeville are small Alabama towns with big hearts. You won’t find better people anywhere. I showed up uninvited on Friday afternoon and within five minutes someone gave this unprepared reporter from the city their umbrella in the rain.
“I just hope that we can get a better grip on how to be responsible with guns and what we do with them because they’re really not nothing to play with.” “My mom, she preached and stayed on us about doing the right thing, and staying on top of us in school. Once I got out of high school and realized what I could potentially be or do, I just always tried to stay on the straight and narrow, and it paid off for me. I’ve been able to do a lot of things and I’ve had a lot of opportunities because I made good decisions. I didn’t get in a lot of trouble, so I try to encourage that to the younger kids.
Jennings missed training camp for the Patriots in the days after the Dadeville shooting. He visited the families of the victims. He brought them flowers and hugs. He tried his best to bring them strength. “Me and Phil had kind of a unique relationship,” Jennings said. “He would ask me questions and his eyes were so big that you knew he was going to do great things. He had the passion for it and he put in the work to do it.
