Detroit — While the Detroit Lions are seeking consecutive playoff appearances for the first time in two decades, veteran safety Don Carey is well on his way to earning his own back-to-back honors.
On Saturday, the team’s reigning Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for his work in the community hosted a unique camp for more than 200 local youth, ages 8-17, at Martin Luther King, Jr. high school, two miles down the road from Ford Field.
The camp, which divided its focus between STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) educational activities and football drills, was attended by nearly 20 of Carey’s teammates, including running back Zach Zenner, rookie cornerback Teez Tabor and defensive end Kerry Hyder.
