Lance Briggs interview with Gowhere Hip Hop

Last Saturday I got the opportunity to cover the Lance Briggs One Day Football Camp hosted by DTLR. The camp was open to 300 athletes entering grades 8-12.

When I first got there, the person in charge of the event, Sheri, was very nice and asked if I wanted to interview other NFL players that were in attendance. My first interview was with Copeland Bryan of the Detroit Lions, and he was definitely a nice guy. When the interview was over, I had some time to kill before Briggs was back from his break, so we played a little bit of catch with some of the students. Bryan thought that I wouldn’t be able to catch a ball for my life, so he was throwing the football underhand because he didn’t want to hurt me. Let’s just say — I proved all of them wrong (which you can see in the video). While we were playing I was calling him out: “Umm.. you’re in the NFL, so throw it like that and stop throwing like a girl!” Then he actually did throw it, and I missed and it hit my stomach – embarrassing.

About 10 minutes later, I got to interview Briggs who was also a very nice guy. Anytime a student or someone at the event came up to him, he took the time to speak with them and it really showed good character.

I love what DTLR, Briggs, and the other individuals who participated did with this event. They are really trying to make a difference, and it’s definitely having a positive impact on these students.

Check out the video and GO BEARS! And well, I have to say GO DETROIT! Only because Bryan was a real nice guy, and I will be rooting for him in the season as well.
