I just flew in from Maryland after doing a camp with Usama Young of the Saints. A lot of players were there, Daniel Muir of the Colts, Jack Williams of the Broncos, David Jones of the Bengals, Tracy Porter of the Saints. It was a great time, we had fun with the kids, taught ’em a few things. Sometimes the player holding the camp flies you in, but it doesn’t really matter if you have to fly yourself around for all of these camps.
