As one of the leaders of the Rutgers football team, Gio Rescigno didn't have to offer up any motivational speeches as his teammates hit the New Brunswick streets to pick up garbage.
They were motivated on their own, the Scarlet Knights quarterback said.
"Our guys know what it means to do community service,'' Rescigno told NJ Advance Media. "It's important to give back, and we really do enjoy days like this.''
That was music to the ears of Jeff Jones, assistant director of player development for the Rutgers football team, who helped organize a cleanup event in New Brunswick on Saturday morning.
