Falcons guard Ben Garland attended the United States Air Force Academy and served two years of active duty before resuming his football career Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , so he has a close connection to the armed forces that has extended to his off-field work with the community.Garland’s recent work has included organizing outings to Falcons practice for veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, providing tickets to games to families of veterans and surprising three military families with tickets to Super Bowl LIII. He also donated $40,000 to a fundraiser designed to send kids from military families to football camp and the NFLPA has recognized Garland’s efforts by naming him this week’s Community MVP.“My family has a long proud history of service in the armed forces Kaleb McGary Jersey , so I was raised understanding what the families of loved ones go through,” Garland said. “During my service, I met the most incredible people – brave Kendall Sheffield Jersey , selfless, intelligent, athletic John Cominsky Jersey , hard-working men and women of character. I want to give back as much as I can to fellow service members.”The NFLPA will donate $10,000 to Garland’s foundation or a charity of his choice. Garland and the other weekly honorees will be eligible for the Alan Page Community Award at the end of the season. 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo got one rep of 11-on-11 work in the team’s final minicamp practice earlier this month, but any plans for further work on that front came to an end when 49ers defensive linemen provided a bit more pressure than head coach Kyle Shanahan wanted to see.Given how far Garoppolo’s come since last year’s torn ACL Qadree Ollison Jersey , Shanahan’s reluctance to push things in June is understandable. There will come a point when Shanahan can’t call off the dogs and Garoppolo said at the end of the offseason program that will be the point he knows whether he’s all the way back to form.“I think all of that will come with time,” Garoppolo said, via ESPN.com. “I’ll try to implement as many drills as I can during these 40 days or so. But Ed Oliver Jersey , I think once the bullets start flying and everything, then we’ll really see.”Garoppolo will spend the time before camp working with his receivers and with quarterback coaches Tom House and Adam Dedeaux in order to be as prepared as possible for the moment when the opposing defense is trying to knock him down.
