This past weekend Dobbs had his football camp in Nashville, TN. My son and I came down from Kansas City for my son to participate. It was a great experience for my son. He had a blast and enjoyed the time he spent catching and throwing with Dobbs, along with the drills they set up with the participants. It was a great turn out and very well organized.

Dobbs went around and interacted with all the age groups and participated in the drills that were set up. My son is only 6, so to him he felt like he just met and played with a Superhero. Dobbs did not disappoint and took the role that day as a Superhero. All though it was a football camp Dobbs made sure to let the kids know school comes first. He is everything that's advertised that you read and see on TV. He's a very humble young man who was super nice. Not once did he seem annoyed or show that he didn't want to be there. Dobbs was very engaged the entire camp and took the lead from the start of camp.

As a father when he told me my son played great today and was in great spirit I couldn't have been prouder as a dad. If he has another camp again next year we will attend again. I told him all of Volnation is rooting for him and good luck this up coming season. For the folks who ask for "pics or didn't happen" see below...

Funny you posted this because he was ragging on the kids for whimp throws and not catching the football. He would tell them if they dropped it they would have to give him 10 push ups. Clearly he was joking but it reminded me of Manning's SNL skit.

Very cool - being a dad of a young athlete is the most fun I've ever had in my life. Enjoy it.

As a college football fan, I just rooted for whoever Peyton played for in the NFL. I've tried to like the Titans but, meh. I am now a solid Steelers fan. Go Dobbs and go Steel curtain!!!

Thanks! My son loves football and if I can give him the opportunity to do these things I will do everything I can to make it happen. He told me in the car when we left camp that one day he'll be the QB for the Vols. My response to that was "I won't hold you back".

Makes me love Josh Dobbs as a person even more. It's good to see another role model that our university has produced that the young generation can look up to.

It's not too late to come back to the good guys, things are looking up for the Titans.

No, a select few mouthbreathers denigrated him through his entire career. But the overwhelming majority of fans appreciated him and know what a class act he is.

Truly the epitome of Student-Athlete. And, again, a damn fine representative of Tennessee.

I might. I feel like a bandwagon NFL fan. I'll watch it if it's on TV but I don't really have any vested interest in any team. If we've got a Vol I liked that's made it to the NFL I'll usually just pull for their team. I remember being the biggest Redskins fan as a kid because of Heath but that fizzled out.

I hope Dobbs excels. He's an awesome ambassador for our program and a good all around person.
