Jordan Whitehead was once one of those kids in the Central Valley School District, hoping to turn his love for sport into something more. Something more is what it became, as the defensive back turned in a standout career at the University of Pittsburgh before being drafted into the NFL in 2018. Two years later he would become a Super Bowl champion in 2020 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before signing in free agency with the New York Jets during this current offseason.

This past weekend, however, he returned to inspire the youth that were once in his position as he hosted the Jordan Whitehead Youth Football Camp at Central Valley, along with former teammate Robert Foster–who himself found his way to New York this offseason as he signed with the New York Giants. Beaver County Radio sports director Bob Barrickman talked to both of the former teammates and talked to them during the weekend’s festivities. Audio can be heard below:
