DETROIT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Members of the Eastern Michigan University football team took part in the Mid-American Conference Youth Football Clinic Tuesday evening, July 22, at Ford Field. Over 400 kids from around Detroit attended the event, running through drills led by coaches and student-athletes from all 13 MAC institutions.
Head Coach Chris Creighton, senior captains Pudge Cotton (Maywood, Ill.-Walther Lutheran) and Lincoln Hansen (Omaha, Neb.-Millard North) along with graduate assistant coaches Dustin Daniels, Tony Neymeiyer, Lynn Nutt and John Perin represented EMU, conducting agility drills throughout the day.
The activities began as kids took a knee to listen to words of wisdom from MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher and former Detroit Lions quarterback Greg Landry. Following the speeches, the group was broken up into eight different sections working on a variety of football drills including agility, catching, tackling and throwing.
The Eagles will remain in Detroit as the MAC will host its 2014 Football Media Day on Wednesday, July 23, from noon to 4 pm, from Ford Field, officially kicking off the 2014 season.
