SPEAKERS

Jonathan Vilma
NFL linebacker
New Orleans Saints

Jonathan Vilma
Jonathan Vilma, the prolific young star and All-American collegiate has a strong reputation for tackling diversity. He was the 12th overall selection in the 2004 NFL Draft and has earned a reputation as one of the finest young linebackers in the game, having been selected as the League's Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2004 and chosen to play for the AFC in the Pro Bowl the following season. He returned to his natural middle linebacker position with the Saints after spending the past two seasons working in a 3-4 defensive scheme in New York.

Jonathan, who was offered several prestigious scholarships, chose the University of Miami where he majored in finance. Jonathan, who believes in giving back to the community for the opportunities he has enjoyed, founded and hosts a financial conference for NFL players called "Jonathan Vilma's Financial 51" to educate players about investments and money management. In addition, he's a board member of the National Football Foundation's "Play It Smart," an educational outreach program designed to use football as a vehicle to foster the academic, personal and career development of at-risk student athletes. He has given numerous talks to schools about success on the playing field as well as in the classroom, and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
