Redskins' Draft Pick Malcolm Kelly Energized By Trip To Mercy Ship In Liberia

In addition to ensuring Malcolm's readiness for Redskins Training Camp, which begins July 20th, Smith held sessions for 35 Liberian coaches and athletes including members of the Olympic Team and Committee at the invitation of the National Minister of Youth and Sports.
