\"tahir\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first thing Tahir Whitehead<\/a> felt was the heat. He knew it would be humid when he landed in Panama, but this was the middle of July. So there\u2019s American humidity, and then there\u2019s what he was dealing with.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t mind, though, because of the reason he was there. The Detroit Lions<\/a> linebacker has always tried promoting football wherever he can, teaching the game to younger players to grow its future.<\/p>\n

He does it in the United States with his own football camp, and it\u2019s kind of how he ended up on a plane headed for Panama City, Panama, in the first place. One of Whitehead\u2019s public relations people approached him with the idea of going to Panama to help teach football. Whitehead eagerly accepted it.<\/p>\n
