NASHVILLE, Tenn. – This past Sunday, 40 youth from Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas traveled to Saint Thomas Sports Park to compete in the 2016 Tennessee Titans Punt, Pass & Kick (PP&K) team championship.
The NFL PP&K program is a national skills competition for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 14. Established in 1961, the PP&K program is the oldest NFL youth football program.
All PP&K finalists were invited to participate in a demonstration on the field at halftime of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The winners from each age division – one boy and girl – were honored individually during the fourth quarter.
These winners are now eligible to advance to the PP&K National Championship, hosted during the 2017 Pro Bowl in Orlando, Florida next month.
Last season, Cadeshia Collins, finished first in her age division representing the Titans at the national championship, held in Indianapolis during the first week of January.
