According to Michael Rothstein of ESPN, Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford has added his name to the Players Coalition letter.
As noted by Rothstein, this is the first we have heard from Stafford (publically) on the subject of social inequality.
Props to Stafford for adding his name to something so important.
