The Houston Texans’ rookies are set to host a “PLAY 60” event at Burnet Elementary School on Monday in an effort to encourage 100 fourth and fifth-grade students to get and stay active. The initiative is part of the NFL’s outreach program to reach young people around the country, and promote the sport of football as a means of exercise.
While veterans have participated in these events in the past, rookies like Jalen Pitre, Derek Stingley, Kenyon Green, and Dameon Pierce will lead the students through various drills that will challenge their dexterity and provide some levity after the weekend. For some of the kids, this occasion may be their first opportunity to meet the Texans rookies in person and may serve as a gateway to a long fandom in support of Houston football.
