“It feels good and it makes me feel good especially to see those kids who were at the very first camp and now they’re doing great things and it’s just amazing,” Butler said.

Before the long and hot day was over, the lineman and skill guys went into separate groups where they worked on 1 on 1 drills.

The lineman worked on pass rushing and pass blocking skills where they were forced to get physical.
