NY Jet Kyle Wilson, 6th-Graders Hit MJS Gym for Fun Workout

Jets Play 60 challenge wrapped up Tuesday and two students were picked to lead the team onto the field on Thanksgiving.

New York Jets cornerback Kyle Wilson jumped rope, played basketball and rode scooters with Madison and Harding sixth-graders on Tuesday morning at Madison Junior School to wrap up the Jets Play 60 Challenge, which challenged students to get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day for four weeks.

It is the fourth year the program, created by the NFL and the American Heart Association, was been presented in schools.

Madison students Madison DePierro and Jack Hanson were randomly picked to lead the Jets on the field on Thanksgiving in their game against the New England Patriots.
