childhood dream of becoming a 

quarterback in the NFL. On, May 10, Drew

hopefuls for a 3 day mini-camp with the

Oakland Raiders.

Preparing him for that mini-camp is,

John Charles. Having been through

John was hand picked to prepare Drew

Drew has the arm strength, accuracy,

intelligence, leadership and mental

toughness to play on Sundays."
