Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks partnered with He Gets Us to help give back to his hometown community of Stockton, California, with a football camp.
There is a reason why Brandin Cooks has been on five NFL teams in his career. Cooks has been traded four times, an NFL record he shares with Eric Dickerson – but it is hardly because of a lack of talent or issues in any locker room. As a matter of fact, the wide receiver had a 1,000-yard season with each of his first four teams , and he expects to do the same with the Dallas Cowboys this upcoming season.
Earlier this week, Cooks hosted a football camp in his hometown of Stockton, California, near the Bay Area where he grew up watching Jerry Rice. Over 700 were in attendance at the sold-out camp, and given his upbringing and faith, Cooks feels a responsibility to not only give back to the community, but the one he grew up in. 'I think it’s huge. I think it’s always important that you give back, but especially to the community that had an impact on you, you grew up in.
definitely lean on but I also remember and don’t forget who I am, the impact I can have on a team on and off the field and in the locker room,' Cooks said. 'For me, I just look at it as an opportunity to be able to go around and make my mark on different cities, different people, different locker rooms, still at the same time producing at a high level. I look at it as a great thing in a sense – I’d rather that than get cut five, six times. That’s the way that I look at it.
