More than half of the 32 NFL teams, including the Jets, have such programs, which stress confidentiality. The NFL Players Association also has a program, and the league has one for non-players.
The union's round-the-clock program is available in all NFL cities and some additional areas. There
are no out-of-pocket fees for players except the cost of the ride.
NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said his organization "wanted to do it for every player. If it overlaps with a team's program, great."
