The Passing Academy, founded by New Orleans’ Saints quarterback Drew Brees, offers 7-on-7 competitive high school camp for football teams nationwide and takes place at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, located in Orlando Florida. The academy runs from June 26-28, 2014 and features some of our favorite NFL players.

I hope getting the chance to meet Drew Brees, Larry Fitagerald, Darren Sproles and Darrelle Revis was inspirational to those who had the opportunity to attend. This is an excellent example of the value NFL stars can share with the youth of of nation.
