Calvin Johnson finds way to give back
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you knew anything about Calvin Johnson and his family, you knew he would find a way to get involved in some way with kids back home. The only question was how he would choose to do it.
I got at least part of the answer in an e-mail today announcing a free football camp for 40 Atlanta area high school receivers. The camp, for 9th- through 12th-graders, will be July 19 and led by Johnson, who played three years at Georgia Tech and was a rookie last season with the Detroit Lions.
Athletes must apply for a spot, and there’s not much time.
Students can e-mail their name and address to cjjrf@yahoo.com or mail it to P.O. Box 1015, Tyrone, Georgia, 30290. All application requests must be received by Monday.
Johnson also intends to fund an unspecified number of scholarships for receivers who did not get college scholarships.
