“When I was young — it didn’t matter if you were an undrafted pick or first-round pick or even anything,” safety Kevin Winston Jr. said. “You looked like a superhero to me because you were playing the sport I loved at a high level. It’s good to be able to do that for them and show them I’m just like them.”
Wide receiver Chimere Dike did not have a similar camp growing up. He told News 2 that it was eye-opening when one camper asked for his autograph.
“It’s pretty cool — just being in that position when you’re younger and now you’re in a position where people are asking you,” Dike said. “I think it’s awesome, but it’s also humbling. It comes with the responsibility of having to uphold that standard that they’re looking at.”

But no player received more attention than quarterback Cam Ward, who threw touchdown passes to several different kids.
While attendees are learning the basics of football, they still have high expectations for Ward and the Titans.
