In our efforts to cover the sports world here in Atlanta, we at Sports Page Atlanta try to also make sure to highlight the good guys in sports who give back to the community.
In so many instances we hear of guys getting in trouble or being selfish. But in this story we talk to Stevie Baggs who had his camp here in Atlanta this past weekend.
Baggs is a graduate of Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach, and a Florida native. He has since made a home in Atlanta while pursing a football career that has taken him to the CFL, the Arena league and NFL Europe. He now has a chance to make the Arizona Cardinals roster.
Baggs wants to use his career in the NFL to give back to his CETA (Creating Empowerment Through Autonomy) Foundation and creating camps for kids. He has an inspirational message and shares it in the video below.

Our Writers
Knox Bardeen is a sports writer with an irreparable addiction to the hit & run and great speed rushers. He covers Atlanta sports for AOL FanHouse and is a member of the Professional Football Writers Association. He got his start working for Fanball, writing about fantasy sports then moved on to covering press conferences in Flowery Branch and the clubhouse at Turner Field, and the Falcons and Braves games in between.
Jason Butt is a sports writer with an affinity for overwriting. He'd rather provide too much information than skimp, thus leaving his print publication editors in a frenzy. That's why he loves writing for the web so much. There are no space constraints. Jason covers the Atlanta Falcons for CBSSports.com, and has freelanced for a variety of publications including Athlon Sports Magazine and The Athens Banner-Herald. He got his start covering University of Georgia football at The Red & Black, the school's independent student newspaper.
Nubyjas Wilborn brings a unique perspective and a wealth of experience covering the Atlanta sports scene. The Lithonia, GA native grew up literally with a sports page in his crib. He was reading local legendary scribe Furman Bisher while the other children were reading nursery rhymes. Nubyjas tried his hand at playing on the field and thought he would even play in the World Cup until he got embarrassed in a training session by Clint Mathis during his freshman year of college. He then realized it was easier and there was more longevity in talking about sports rather than playing. You can hear Nubyjas on WCLK 91.9 as the voice of Clark Atlanta Football and Basketball, see him in press boxes all over the city and doing updates on radio for Sporting News Radio.
Barrett Sallee is a sports writer with a background in new media, radio and television. He currently covers the SEC for CollegeFootballNews.com, and is a member of the Football Writer's Association of America. He has articles published on CFN, FoxSports.com and Scout.com. He believes in a ten-team playoff, defense winning championships and pursuing a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter.
