Namath, a Jupiter-area resident, and his team participated in the beach cleanup at Carlin Park, Dubois Park and the Jupiter Inlet.
During Monday's event, Namath was showing support for his college alma mater by sporting a University of Alabama hat, where he played for three seasons.
The group said they removed more than 50 pounds of trash Monday.
The beach cleanup was part of World Water Week, an annual event that for 30 years has worked to resolve global water issues.
