The Jets two starting wide receivers were in the spotlight in Manhattan on Tuesday night but it had nothing to do with their pass-catching skills. Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall received awards at different galas for their ongoing work in the community.
Decker was honored at the 23rd annual Gridiron Gala staged by the United Way of New York City along with the Jets and Giants in support of the city's low-income children. Decker for the Jets and RB Rashad Jennings for the Giants were recognized as this year's "Hometown Heroes" who personify the NFL's dedication to community service.
