Robert Royal believes in togetherness.
The New Orleans native, who prepped at Karr, went on to LSU and now is a tight end for the Buffalo Bills.
On Friday, he was back in New Orleans hosting a football camp at the NFL Yet Center, with togetherness as the theme. The camp is called Together Everyone Achieves More .
"This has been something I have always wanted to do," Royal said. "It's the perfect time for something like this. The kids need positive things around them."
Royal said he made a promise to himself that if he made it to the NFL that he would make sure that he came back to New Orleans, a city he said that gave him so much, to support the youth.
"The kids are always seeing negative things on the television about New Orleans, and now they get a chance to see people doing positive things for the city," Royal said. "This is a great feeling to be able to be a part of these young people's lives and hopefully make a difference."<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.1 src="http://ads.nola.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/www.nola.com/xml/story/S/SPSP/@StoryAd"></SCRIPT>
