ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)– The St. Louis Rams are keeping busy in the off-season.

Team members took part in the inaugural Football Camp for the Stars, a chance for teens and adults with down syndrome to shine on the football field.

Rams running back Zack Stacy has a younger brother living with down syndrome. So when the Down Syndrome Association asked Zack to join in and help these kids learn a thing or two on the football field, he said where do I sign up?

Andrew Suelman favorite position is quarterback. So when I asked Andrew what it was like to meet Zack Stacy from the Rams he said Sam Bradford was his favorite player.

Probably not what Stacy wanted to hear but he knows all too well that kids with down syndrome speak the truth and their smart. Stacy originally from Alabama majored in special education at Vanderbilt and says it’s so important for him to motivate these kids not just physically but mentally as well.

Coaches from all around the area came out and helped these kids learn the fundamentals and Saturday there will be a scrimmage so that everyone can show off what they learned Friday.
