The much anticipated arrival of one of the New York Jets’ biggest offseason acquisitions occurred this afternoon as former Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmeshttp://www.newyorkjets.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/roster/santonio-holmes/bc286762-6be0-4adf-b44f-2f723f0f17aa/) made his first appearance at the SUNY Cortland practice facility.
The wide receiver who made the game winning touchdown catch in Super Bowl XLIII will be a major weapon in the Jets’ offense this season, and he had the opportunity to display his talents for the first time at camp today.......

Holmes was allowed to report for camp today as opposed to Sunday when the rest of his teammates reported because he was with his 8-year-old son, Santonio III, in Atlanta. His son was undergoing spleen removal surgery because of complications from sickle cell anemia.
Holmes helps support his son and others like him through his Third and Long Foundation, which raises awareness and money for the Sickle Cell Disease Association. Santonio III’s surgery was one he desperately needed to have, but it would have been too dangerous to perform until now...........

Tone, I'm really pissed off at you for blowing your chances in Pittsburgh. But my thoughts and prayers are with you and your little boy. God bless him.
