Michelle Obama caught passes and ran drills during a flag football event with a group of children at a temporary football field in Woldenberg Park in New Orleans on Wednesday.
The NFL’s Play 60 clinic is part of the league events for the Thursday launch of its football season. The First Lady joined NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy and former players, including New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister and New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison.
Harrison was flagged five times for unnecessary roughness.
