NASHVILLE, Tenn. --** Titans secondary coach Marcus Robertson hosted his annual Offensive and Defense Youth Football Camp in Pasadena, Calif. on June 18th.

Robertson has hosted the youth football camp since 1994 and brought in friend and former NFL player Chad Brown in 2001 to co-host the camp for nearly 200 youngsters ages 8 to 14. Robertson and Brown are both natives of Pasadena and went to high school together before they became teammates in Seattle in 2001.

The camp is designed to better equip young players with the fundamentals of the game, skill development, discipline, determination and dedication. Robertson says these are qualities that not only better prepares these young athletes for the game, but for life.

Participants had the opportunity to meet and work out with current and former college and NFL players like Kenny James Jr. (Washington State), Torin Harris (USC), Keyshawn Sanders (UTEP), Lance Mitchell (Oregon State) and Chad Brown (former NFL player Steelers/Seahawks/Patriots)

"What we try to emphasize during the camp is the importance of balancing education and football," said Robertson. "We're encouraging them to set a goal of making it to college, not necessarily the NFL. The NFL is only a bonus. We (the coaches) are just examples to the youth that it could be them in our position someday if they work hard and get an education because we have all been where they are and all are from the same community."

Robertson is now in his 20th season in the NFL, fourth season as a coach and 18th season with the Titans organization as a player, coach and front office member. He enters his second season as secondary coach after spending two years as the assistant secondary coach.
