A group of current and former NFL players wrote a letter to commissioner Roger Goodell and executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent in August asking them to actively support their campaign for racial equality and criminal justice reform.
The memo, which was obtained by Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson on Wednesday, is endorsed by Philadelphia Eagles teammates Malcolm Jenkins and Torrey Smith, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett and recently retired wide receiver Anquan Boldin.
"Our focus has been to identify and place our efforts on the key areas of reform where our influence and support can make a meaningful difference in the community," the group wrote.
