Ameer Abdullah was driving to his workout last week. It was early morning, before most begin their day of work.
Yet the former Husker running back and current member of the Detroit Lions sounded a couple cups of coffee into his day already. He was telling a camping story.
It was from when he was 13. He attended this football camp at Hoover High School in Abdullah's home state of Alabama. The camp was led by Bruce Arians, a renowned offensive mind in the game of football who is now the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
