I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in Freeport, New York. I played eight seasons in the NFL as a linebacker—first with the Miami Dolphins, then with the Houston Texans. I had the honor of starting over 100 games and racking up more than 680 tackles throughout my career. Football taught me discipline, resilience, and the power of teamwork—lessons I carry with me every day.

​

After retiring from the NFL, I knew I wanted to give back. In 2015, I founded the Morlon Greenwood Foundation (MG52) to mentor at-risk youth and help them unlock their full potential. Through our programs, we focus on academic achievement, athletic development, and leadership skills. We also offer a 12-week opioid recovery initiative for youth and young adults trying to get back on their feet.

​

My mission now is bigger than the game—it’s about creating lasting impact in our communities, one life at a time. Football gave me a platform. Now, I’m using it to lift others up.
