Isiah Pacheco returns to Mid-Missouri for third-annual youth football camp
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A two-time Super Bowl champion has paid a visit to Columbia.
Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco took over Rock Bridge High School for a third straight year to host a youth football camp, powered by FlexWork Sports Management.
Hundreds of kids, between the ages of 6 and 16, got the opportunity to engage in drills, skills stations and lectures while also getting hands-on instruction from local football coaches and Pacheco, himself. Campers also took photos with the fan-favorite and participated in contests and awards.
Saturday's event represented one of eight different youth football camps that Pacheco will host this year, making a difference in the lives of the next generation of football players.
“It’s a blessing to me, an amazing experience. I know that I used to be that kid that used to look up to the NFL players," Pacheco said during Saturday's interview. "For me to be in that position now, to give the kids hope to come back and have something to talk about, is amazing for me.”

Pacheco participated in the first week of organized team activities (OTA's) with the Kansas City Chiefs from May 27-29. The team begins another round of voluntary workouts ahead of the 2025 NFL season on June 2.
