Wise, 25, was drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft and since arriving has been a community staple.
Along with the free block party, the Arkansas alum has done countless autograph signings and public appearances.
On the field, he has 62 career tackles, 10.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.
Many Patriots are heavily involved with community as well including Matthew Slater, the McCourty twins, Derek Rivers, Adam Butler and many more.
