Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall hosted a youth football camp at Canyon Springs High School for approximately 150 kids ages 10-16 in his hometown of North Las Vegas on Saturday morning.

“I’ve always been one to give back to the community,” Marshall said after the five-hour camp. “I think it’s my responsibility to give back and make sure the kids know they can be successful as well.

“My favorite part is the impact that I hope I can make on the kids – seeing their faces, man. I think the kids have a lot of fun.”

Marshall paid for flights and housing for his camp’s coaching staff that included current and former teammates T.J. Ward, Will Parks, Shaq Barrett, Juwan Thompson and Duke Ihenacho.

“I think the parents enjoy having their kids out here, seeing successful individuals putting their kids through drills and activities and having their kids talked to by successful NFL players,” he said.

Barbara Marshall, Brandon’s mother, played a big part in helping the camp run smoothly.

“My Mom is my assistant, man, she’s everything,” Brandon said. “I definitely love having her out here, she’s amazing. She does a lot of the groundwork for me. I’m blessed to have her.”

After the on-field portion of the camp was finished, the older camp participants went inside to hear from Brandon and Barbara on the importance of respecting women.

“My Mom is a victim of domestic violence, so we’re advocates against that,” Marshall said in an interview with FOX5 Las Vegas. “So I want to talk to the kids about how to handle situations, how to handle if you get in an argument with your women or different things.

“Domestic violence right now is an issue — it’s always been an issue in our society — so if I can catch the kids early and give them some tools on how to handle situations of conflict, it can change some lives.”
