To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing this letter as a character reference on behalf of Christian Hopkins. I’ve had
the esteemed pleasure of knowing Christian for close to ten years. I first met Christian as
the Director of Player Engagement for the New York Giants, where my role was to help
athletes grow personally and professionally on an off the field.
It became very apparent from the first day I met Christian that my role in helping
Christian wouldn’t be too difficult. As a player, he exemplified the qualities you look for
in the men you would like to have on your team. His work ethic, dedication, and respect
of the game and his teammates, exemplified the values of the New York Giants
organization and are attributes that made him a valuable player.
As a person, those same qualities were apparent as well. From the work he did in the
Giants community, with the many different charitable organizations the club worked
with, to the work he did and is doing in the Chicago community, typify the passion and
heart he has for service.
I am honored to have the opportunity to write this letter on behalf of Christian, because
he serves as an example of what we should want all of our young men to become.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions on my cell: 201-638-4402.
Sincerely,
Charles Way
