Pro Bowlers giving back to other communities
Saturday was about giving back to the community.
The NFL scheduled time out for this season’s Pro Bowlers to come out and participate in the refurbishing the Reynolds Boys and Girls Club in Las Vegas.
“It’s great what the NFL has done,” said former Washington linebacker and current member of the Commanders broadcasts London Fletcher. “They come into these communities and they give back, refurbishing the Boys & Girls Club here and also encouraging kids to get out of the house and play 60 minutes a day.”
“This is really rewarding, I like giving back to the community, ” said Terry McLaurin. “It doesn’t matter if I am in the DMV, Indianapolis, or Las Vegas. It is a unique opportunity to talk to kids, letting them see you without your helmet.”
“It’s been a bunch of fun being able to be around all of these guys, laugh and joke around,” expressed Commanders DT Daron Payne. “I got a chance to paint a little bit. It’s a bunch of fun to be able to give back to the community.”
“I hope the kids have some fun. I don’t know if they should learn anything from me,” said Tress Way. “But hopefully, they do have fun. This has been really cool, the structure of it, how they have treated us. Splitting everyone up into competing in different types of games has been fun too.”
The Pro Bowl Games television coverage will continue Sunday at 3 pm and be televised by ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and Disney XD.
Sunday, there will be two 7 on 7 Flag Football games instead of an actual Pro Bowl “game” between the AFC and NFC. Also on the schedule for Sunday will be the following:
Best Catch – Finale
Gridiron Gauntlet
Move the Chains
Kick Tac Toe
According to Julie Donaldson, Major Tuddy, is a big hit with the kids out in Las Vegas.
