“I think it’s only right to come back to the city that helped make you the person who you are and put on a camp that’s 100 percent free,' AJ McCarron said about his annual youth football camp held in Mobile.
“For some reason, I remember this kid today specifically that dropped maybe eight passes in a row,” McCarron said, “and he finally catches the ninth one, and the smile that he had on his face was just unbelievable, and that’s what it’s about.
“I think it’s only fair,” McCarron said about his determination to have each camper catch a football he’s thrown. “We got people from all over that come down here. I know we’ve had people from California, South Dakota, up north. It’s only right. For people to spend their hard-earned money to come down here and have this experience, I feel it’s the right thing to do.”
“I think it’s only right to come back to the city that helped make you the person who you are and put on a camp that’s 100 percent free. I grew up in Mobile. I know what Mobile’s made of and the people it’s made of, being blue-collar, hard-working people, so if I have the opportunity not to charge any of these families or kids to come out here and have a great experience, learn a little bit about each position and the game of football and have fun, we’re going to do that.
“My park ball coach, Tony Powell, runs the drills, runs the camp, makes sure everything’s on time. Does a great job of that,” McCarron said. “Mobile Christian’s coaching staff in unbelievable. We’ve been here four years. They’ve been unbelievable – the whole school. We had kids that are on South Alabama’s team that have come out and volunteered. Then just normal everyday people that come out and choose to volunteer.
