There students had a little taste of the what a training camp is like for NFL players and rookie draft choices. What was really fun to watch was so many females who really like football showing that maybe this game isn't just for males only.This is the second event that the NFLPA has done here in Los Angeles the first event being the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl that was held in January at the Home Depot Center. So many kids will never get a chance to hang out with NFL players and to give them a chance just to be be around them will be priceless for those who came out.
