SHREVEPORT — The second annual Ar’Darius Washington Youth Football Camp took place Saturday morning at Evangel Christian Academy with several NFL athletes from the area assisting with drills.
While the Baltimore Ravens defensive back is hampered in a walking boot as he recovers from a torn right Achilles, giving back to the kids in his hometown was a priority this summer.
“Kids out here are having fun. It is hot out here, but we out there teaching them everything and I feel like it turned out pretty good,” Washington said.
He added they learned about what to improve on from the inaugural camp. “We cut down some of the drills so we can get more one-on-one teaching and everything like that… One thing I did add was the music, so we can have good time out here for sure.”
Other NFL players on hand were Jets defensive back Jarrick Bernard-Converse and Eagles wide receiver Terrance Marshall Jr.
Washington is entering his fifth year with the Ravens after signing as an undrafted free agent in 2021.
