THIRD SEASON OF EMMY AWARD-WINNING SERIES NFL 360 WITH MELISSA STARK PREMIERES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 AT 8:00 PM ET

Eagles WR DeSean Jackson Pays Tribute to the Life and Legacy of Late Rapper and Activist Nipsey Hussle in ‘The L.A. Marathon’

Tonight at 8:00 PM ET, NFL Network’s Emmy award-winning series NFL 360 with Melissa Stark makes its season three debut with two compelling features that give voice to the stories and causes that spark NFL players and Legends to inspire change.

In The L.A. Marathon, Eagles WR DeSean Jackson pays tribute to the tragically short life and enduring legacy of Nipsey Hussle. Jackson returns home to L.A. to explore the impact of his friend Nipsey, the late rapper and activist who inspired a social and entrepreneurial awakening in some of the city’s most historically downtrodden communities. Nipsey was slain in March outside his clothing store.

Jackson shares remembrances with a gathering of Nipsey’s friends and admirers, from artists like Snoop Dogg to his business partners inspired by his lyrics. At the heart of the story, Jackson grapples with the loss of his friend and searches for ways to carry on Nipsey’s vital message.

One of the ways Jackson is keeping Nipsey’s legacy alive is with the auction of his Week 1 pregame cleats which raised $2,010 for the Neighborhood Nip Foundation through NFL Auction. They are one of the highest pairs of pregame cleats sold on NFL Auction, running on the site for only one week versus the normal 30 days for player cause cleats. DeSean will be using the NFL Auction platform to auction off his pregame cleats honoring Nipsey throughout the rest of the season.

The season premiere of NFL 360 also features former receiver and current NFL Network analyst Steve Smith who provides a passionate perspective on the lasting impact of outreach to underserved communities.

NFL 360 with Melissa Stark is NFL Network's news anthology show of record where each month, NFL players are given the opportunity to shine a light on the people, places and moments that are important to them through in-depth documentary storytelling. Over its first two

seasons, NFL 360 has earned multiple Emmy nominations, and last year won the award for Outstanding Short Feature for the segment, "I am Shaquem Griffin."
