PLANTATION (CBSMiami) – An ‘off the gridiron’ challenge by a Miami Dolphins player has South Florida high school students working toward a win on the financial field.
Wide receiver Jarvis Landry surprised the Plantation High School football team this week, but he was there to talk finance, not football.
“If some of them do have jobs, it’s taking a little money here and there and putting it away; having a personal piggy bank or whatever it is so they can open an account,” says Landry about his message to students.
His visit to the school is part of ‘4 Downs for Finance’, an initiative between the Miami Dolphins and Bank United to teach students about financial literacy.
