Two Jets players, Jay Feely and Dustin Keller, tweeted that they were going to a team event to support Muscular Dystrophy:
Shawn Ellis lost his “Little Brother” of 10 years to the disease last month.
As had been his routine before nearly every home game for the past 10 seasons, Ellis sprinted the length of the field to greet his wheelchair-bound friend, Kareem Hamad, who was fighting Duchenne muscular dystrophy with the same tenacity Ellis shows battling opposing left tackles.
But Kareem, who Ellis calls his “little brother,” wasn’t there Oct. 18 — and the Jets defensive end knew something was tragically wrong.
