All-American Bowl players, mentors get a lesson from Texas kids

  Leaders on the field can also be leaders in their communities.

The players - the nation's young football elite - spent their post-practice afternoon challenging the elementary-aged children on their math skills in a friendly competition.

But, beyond the smiles and games was ultimately another critical experience: how to be a leader in their own communities.
