And George does not do that. Scott Matheny of Athletes in Action has worked with Jets players for nearly six years. Under Bill Parcells, Matheny was limited to ministering to players in the small lobby at Weeb Ewbank Hall, the team's practice facility, or in a second-floor meeting room for Friday morning Bible study.
