The National Dairy Council is proud to welcome Detroit Lions Rookie Defensive Tackle, Ndamukong Suh to the distinguished group of NFL players representing Fuel Up to Play 60, a nationwide, in-school health and wellness program created in partnership with the NFL. In addition to Suh, a host of new players have been added to the Fuel Up to Play 60 family of NFL ambassadors. Recent additions include Tennessee Titans Wide Receiver Justin Gage, Carolina Panthers Defensive End Everette Browns, and Denver Broncos Running Back Knowshon Moreno.
Suh joins players from all thirty two NFL teams, including Chicago Bears Guard Roberto Garza, San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Alex Smith, Jacksonville Jaguars Running Back Maurice Jones-Drew, Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Greg Jennings and Super Bowl Champion and New Orleans Saints Wide Receiver Marques Colston among others.
Launched by National Dairy Council (NDC) and the National Football League, in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Fuel Up to Play 60 empowers youth to take action to improve nutrition and physical activity at their school and for their own health. The program encourages kids to “fuel up” with nutrient rich foods such as low-fat and fat-free dairy, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and get “play” by getting at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.
