New York Jets: LaDainian Tomlinson talks Sun Bowl and Mission Tiger charity work

The holiday season is upon us and as cliché as it may sound, this is a time for giving. And that’s something that NFL legend and former San Diego Chargers and New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson took to heart this week.

Tomlinson traveled across the streets of El Paso on Thursday giving out much-needed sports equipment to middle school students across the city.

This was part of a greater program known as Mission Tiger that seeks to give middle school children around the country access to sports.

Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes teamed up with the DICK’s Sporting Goods Foundation and gave a Sports Matter grant to every public middle school athletic department in El Paso.
