In partnership with USA Football's FUNdamentals program, the sold-out camp will include on-field instruction, a photo with Gurley, T-shirt, swag bag and barbecue. The camp's MVP will receive a U.S. National Team helmet and free registration to a future regional.
Among those lauding Gurley for the event this week was 2010 National Team member and Houston Texans defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, who recently held a free camp and unity event in his hometown of New Orleans.
