“I want to go number one in my draft class as a wide receiver and I want to go to the University of Texas,” said Avery Survillion, also a sixth-grade student.The youth football camp was organized by Newsome. Originally from Chicago's South Side, the cornerback for the Cleveland Browns is doing all he can to give back to his hometown.
