The sons of fallen EMT Yadira Arroyo are going to give the Jets a little help, according to the NFL.

The five Arroyo siblings will assist the team on Saturday, announcing draft picks from their mother’s Bronx EMS station.

Arroyo, an EMT with 14 years on the job, was a beloved fixture at the “Tin House,” the nickname for her base, EMS Station 26 in Morrisania.

The 44-year-old mom died March 16 when a deranged man trying to steal her FDNY ambulance ran her down with the vehicle.
