Ex-NY Jet star Curtis Martin told us at the BTIG Charity Day: “I grew up in the worst circumstances, not homeless but close. I was very, very poor . . . in a very violent neighborhood.”

The Pittsburgh native said: “I almost died so many times . . . I’ve had guns pointed at my head where the [trigger] was pulled and no bullet came out. So to be able to give back and help people in situations that I used to be in, that means everything to me.”
