The Houston Texans were hosting a special training camp at Reliant Stadium for some very special kids. Its a game they have heard, but never seen.
Each of those students were blind.
The Texans had to make some adjustments for training. The kids also got a chance to feel the turf and how heavy a uniform is.
The kids got a shirt and in about a week they will get their very own rulebook, translated in Braille.

Blind people rely on their sense of hearing and their sense of touch. This is how they see things. By letting the kids feel all those little things seeing people take for granted, the kids got to "see" football differently for the first time.

I would assume just specific players. Some of them are doing other things.

Well this is cool to hear. I wonder if Williams was involved.

RB Darius Walker was the only player mentioned in the article but that doesnt mean he was the only one there.
We hear so many bad things about players in the NFL, I have decided we need to hear more about the good things about them. This is just one example.
