Jarvis Green Successful On and Off the Field

It’s no surprise that linemen love food, and New England Patriots’ defensive end Jarvis Green has recently taken the revelation one step further than just an amateur hobby. Green, a Louisiana native and seven year veteran for the Pats, recently opened a restaurant in his hometown of Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Named the Capitol Restaurant, Green’s newest investment is named after the town being the capital of Louisiana in the 1800s. The Capitol Restaurant is set to specialize in seafood and other delights including a massive selection of appetizers, build-your-own burger, seven hot wing sauces and po-boys. While the restaurant is Jarvis Green’s first investment of the type, the defensive lineman also owns a liquor store on his alma mater LSU’s campus in Baton Rouge named Green’s Purple and Gold, and he has founded the Jarvis Green Foundation, as well, which helps single mothers in New Orleans and also aids victims of Hurricane Katrina.

When he’s not busy bettering his home state of Louisiana, Jarvis Green can be found pounding the turf at New England’s Gillette Stadium. The defensive end has started 31 of 94 games in six NFL seasons, locking in 236 tackles and 25 sacks.
