Brody's First Scrimmage - Eastside Jamboree

Brody had his first stab at "real" football this morning.  He did great running his routes and blocking.  He even had one little dude face mask him. He practiced playing safety and left guard, but played a little linebacker for the first time today, too.

The Incident: "Oh, no you don't!"

My heart

Brody enjoyed his Gatorade!  :)
