Local JP student heads south for rare football opportunity
When former NFL tight end Leonard Stephens gives you one-on-one training, you listen. You may be a little star struck, but you do your best to take it all in.
As was the case for Deklen Robbins, a JP II student, junior Crusader football player, and now, member of the South Saskatchewan Selects Football (SSSF) team that is headed to Florida in late February to take on teams from across the United States.
Robbins gave hockey a try when he was younger, said he was “horrible.” He then tried Battlefords Minor Football, which wasn’t quite the same as the touch football he had previously tried.
Something was different about tackle.
