Myles Garrett to Serve as
New NFL Waterboys Captain

When I announced my retirement in May, the momentum of Waterboys and its visibility in the NFL weighed heavily on my mind. I knew my job was to find an active player who not only shares my passion for clean water but will get creative on how to champion NFL Waterboys and accelerate its growth.

Since NFL Waterboys has always been a team effort, looking to the roster of athletes already supporting the program was a natural start. Many of our Waterboys have made multi-year commitments to their well funding efforts and helped us raise awareness in key markets around the country. Our bench is deep, but one guy immediately stepped up to the challenge.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce Myles Garrett, of the Cleveland Browns, as the new captain of the NFL Waterboys roster.

• Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns
• Kyle Long, Chicago Bears
• Beau Allen, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• Johnny Hekker, Los Angeles Rams
• Brett Hundley, Arizona Cardinals
• Zack Martin, Dallas Cowboys

And in the coming weeks, it will be your turn!

Each Waterboy will be using their bye week to add to our momentum and build a team of clean water supporters in their home market. So whether you’re flying an Eagles flag, part of Buc Nation, down for Da Bears, loyal to the Boys or anywhere in between – stay tuned to REPRESENT and IMPACT this crisis.

While Myles is holding it down on the field, I see my role expanding in other ways – recruiting new players, speaking to groups and organizations about the power of clean water, advocating with fans who want to see change in the clean water space, and supporting my team in expansion efforts with new leagues.

Suffice it to say, I’m accelerating through retirement.

Let’s do this!
