Morgan Fox (Defensive Lineman)

The appreciation for our nation's military members and veterans extends far beyond the field for Chargers Defensive Lineman Morgan Fox. Throughout his life, Fox has witnessed firsthand what it means to be a part of a military family. Three generations of family members including Fox's father, stepfather, and father-in-law have proudly served and saw combat duties that have impacted his life. This has influenced Fox's philanthropic outlook and desire to give back to military and veteran communities. On the field, Fox has raised awareness and funds through the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative for nonprofit organizations including Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), Merging Vets and Players (MVP), One Tribe Foundation (Formally 22KILL), and War Heroes on Water. These organizations support and assist veterans in overcoming mental and emotional struggles that they face once their service has ended. Fox has worked for years with the WWP on several events, including participating in workout events, being a featured speaker, and sitting down with wounded warriors to hear and understand their experiences firsthand. Fox's support of the military and our nation's veterans will continue in 2022 with special events planned for the team's Salute to Service initiatives. Fox will be raising funds through his merchandise line – with all proceeds going to support the WWP – and will be hosting wounded warriors at the Chargers practice facility in November.
