Hula hoops, jump ropes spark memories for Jabaal Sheard, Patrick Chung

PAWTUCKET, RI -- New England Patriots teammates Patrick Chung and Jabaal Sheard reflected on their youth Wednesday as they imparted words of wisdom to about 75 youngsters in Pawtucket.

“When I was growing up, I didn’t really have anyone come out and see us,” Chung said. “So it was good for the kids to be excited, they’re our fans and they make us who we are. It was good to come out here and teach them things to do in life and try to get them on the right track.”

Added Sheard, “It’s always been big to me, I looked up to football players as a kid, so the fact I’m a football player now and am able to do that, I always want to be a part of it.
