Meet The Blazers!Meet The Blazers was a fun experience with all the kids that love football as much as I do. The kids got to come out on to the field and run around, also do the drills we actually do in practice. We had a station for every position on the field. The kids also at the end of the day got to go in our locker room and run out on to the field in the smoke with the band playing like we do on Saturdays! They loved it and I loved every minute of it also.
