  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 
recognition of NFL player De'Vondre Campbell. A native of Fort Myers, 
Campbell is returning to his home town to host a summer football camp 
for our community's youth. As a rookie with the Atlanta Falcons, 
Campbell forced a fumble, recorded forty-eight tackles, and had one 
interception.
   Campbell is the epitome of hard work and determination as he paid 
his way to Hutchinson Community College, then earned a scholarship to 
the University of Minnesota. He did not let this nor his necessary 
Lasik surgery deter him from achieving his dream of playing in the NFL. 
At his camp, he will teach young boys not only the fundamentals of the 
game, but also the value of teamwork, perseverance, and self-
discipline. I commend Campbell for giving back to our community and 
look forward to seeing his accomplishments in the years to come.
