NFL CELEBRATES 'GO SKATEBOARDING DAY' WITH RUNNING BACK JOHN KELLY

Well, The Berrics can officially say that The Shield’s got our back… The NFL posted a photo essay featuring running-back-who-skates John Kelly, and gave us a super special shout out for the piece we did with the man 2 months ago. “Celebrate Go Skateboarding Day With John Kelly” features the 22-year-old skating at Westchester (which The Berrics opened in 2011, in partnership with explore.org), and includes a quote from our interview: “To be honest, I really think I’m probably the first football player that actually can skate.” No argument here.

Watch our interview with this fascinating individual below:
