“Who wants to play in the NFL?”
Of the 462 high school football players that raised their hands to that question Monday morning at FedExField, based on statistics, only a handful of them will likely see those desires fulfilled.
That might seem bleak, but the strategy for “4th & Life,” the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation’s curriculum-based program, presented by Coca-Cola, is aimed to prepare high school student-athletes for that potential reality, using current Redskins players and alums to preach the values of finding success on the field, in the classroom and in the workplace.
