GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Now that he has established himself as one of the top young safeties in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers' Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is trying to make an impact off the field.

Personal experience helped Clinton-Dix hone the focus of a charitable organization he started this year. "Ha Ha's HERO Foundation" aims to improve the lives of children from low-income families in the Green Bay area.

"Me coming from a low-income background, I really didn't take my studies serious as a young kid," Clinton-Dix said. "I just want to give back and kind of be a resource for younger generations."
