The Houston Texans wide receiver hosted the first-ever Hometown Huddle Youth Football Camp on Saturday at Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School, welcoming children between the ages of eight and 13 for a free morning of football instruction and fun.

The event gave young players the chance to learn directly from Peterborough's first NFL player, who grew up playing in the local football community before starring at the University of Pittsburgh and eventually reaching the professional ranks.
Camp participants also received an unexpected treat when Wayne was joined by Texans teammate and Pro Bowl receiver Nico Collins, who took part in the instruction and spent time with the young athletes.
