Jets OT Breno Giacomini travels to Egypt to teach football, ride a camel

Former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch wouldn't have had the chance to rap while riding a camel in Egypt if it weren't for New York Jets tackle Breno Giacomini and a couple of his best friends.

Five years ago, Giacomini helped to create American Football Without Borders, a non-profit organization that teaches underprivileged kids in the United States and around the world about football. He and former Louisville teammate Gary Barnidge, along with an ex-Louisville classmate, hatched the idea. Giacomini and Barnidge, a tight end for the Cleveland Browns, led a contingent of 10 NFL players to Egypt, where they will conduct free football camps.
