Every year, the New England Patriots recognize a player who gives back to the community with the “Ron Burton Community Service Award.” The award is named in honor of the late Ron Burton, father of Steve and Paul Burton, the first player drafted by the Patriots and a community leader known for his charitable work

This year, Robert Kraft announced cornerback Marcus Jones as the 2026 recipient - the team’s highest individual honor. He tells WBZ’s Steve Burton that it means a lot to him to give back to the youth.
