Vikings running back Latavius Murray will joined other players and former NFL head coach Rex Ryan on a weeklong NFL-USO tour to Italy and Germany to visit American troops and their families on military bases, the NFL announced Wednesday.
Murray will be joined by Panthers defensive end Mario Addison, Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap, Falcons guard Ben Garland and Saints running back Mark Ingram.
An extension of the NFL’s Salute to Service – the League’s yearlong work to honor, empower and connect service members through the unifying lens of football and strategic partnerships with impact-driven organizations – this year’s NFL-USO tour will feature an array of base activities consisting of unit visits to one-on-one meetings with installation leadership.
