Boomer Esaison, Steve Weatherford and Craig Carton

New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford , who arguably has the fittest body in the NFL, took time out to don the cape and spend time with kids at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York earlier this week. Weatherford went on a media blitz to promote the visit, stopping off to see Boomer & Carton above, and also meeting Duke Castiglione on Fox New York below. Weatherford took over the Hospital for Special Surgery’s Instagram during the visit so we’ve cobbled a few photos of his visit in the following slides. Check out the visit with Castiglione below, during which he talks about his plans to visit the kids and what it meant to him to feature in the November issue of Muscle & Fitness.

The Road to Recovery

Weatherford’s words: “Me and Big Daniel can’t wait to see him back on the football field! Maybe we’ll play together one day! #SuperSteveHSS”You don’t have to be Superman to spend time with people. However, if you want to look cool while doing so, why not don a costume you dig and give some motivation and support to people close to you who might need a boost as they face whatever challenge is in front of them.
