Jets' Leggett helping raise awareness for abdominal injuries

Leggett has extra motivation for the Jets to score this season. The second-year tight end is currently running a campaign called "Touchdowns for Taylor," set up in memory of a 15-year-old Florida high school wide receiver who died 10 years ago from an injury to his abdominal area on the football field. Along with Taylor Haugen's parents, Brian and Kathy, Leggett is pushing for increased awareness and education for safety in youth football.
