Redskins offensive lineman Arie Kouandjio on Tuesday visited his former elementary school in Beltsville, Md., to encourage reading among fourth and fifth grade students.
As Arie Kouandjio reflected on his day spent with students at Beltsville Academy in Beltsville, Md., on Tuesday, one word he repeatedly used was “blessed.”
Once a shy second grader from Cameroon faced with entering a new country and new school, the rookie Redskins offensive lineman appreciates how far he’s come with both with his education and his career.
“Today I got the opportunity to see some of the kids and see some of the teachers I had,” Kouandjio said.
