Woodson to Work Elite 11 Camp: Senior quarterback Andre? Woodson will be a guest coach at the EA Sports Elite 11 quarterback camp in California on July 22-24.
The camp showcases some of the nation?s top high school quarterbacks who are entering their senior season. Other college quarterbacks who are helping coach at the camp include Chase Daniel (Missouri), Colt Brennan (Hawaii), Nate Longshore (California), Chad Henne (Michigan), and Bobby Reid (Oklahoma State).
Woodson attended the EA Sports Elite 11 camp following his junior year in high school, along with other quarterbacks such as JaMarcus Russell, who went on to LSU and became the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and Chris Leak, who won the national championship at Florida. Woodson is looking forward to the event and hopes to be a positive influence on the high school players.
?It?s a chance to help the guys with their footwork, where to position the ball, where to release the ball, things like that,? Woodson said. ?We watch film with them and give them tips on what to look for and what plays work. It?s also a chance to build relationships with the other quarterbacks.?
