New York Jet Shonn Greene kicked off his Father’s Day festivities on a play date with his 7-month-old son, Jeremiah, at Pampers “First Father’s Day Cook-Out” celebration in New York (June 16).

The footballer has a busy season ahead next year as he steps into the bigger role of starting running back for his team, but in the meantime he's enjoying bonding time with baby. His best fatherhood advice: “Spend as much time as you can with your kids, you never know what could happen. Teach them well… family’s a big deal.”

The event, which paid homage to all dads (celeb father James Van Der Beek and Drew Lachey were also in attendance with their children), was also a part of Pampers’ Little Miracle Missions campaign that delivers acts of support to families and hopeful families in North America.
