Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie welcomed @NFL quarterback greats @JimKelly1212 & Vinny Testaverde to the People’s House Tuesday.

 

Last week, two former NFL pro quarterbacks — Vinnie Testaverde (NY Jets) and Jim Kelly (Buffalo Bills) were in the Capitol to lobby on behalf of daily fantasy sports legalization bills.
