Former Washington Redskin, and Penn State great Lavar Arrington recently took time to participate in a unique event in the Persian Gulf, that combined college football greats, playing along side active military heros in a flag football game. The "Connect to Home Bowl", sponsored by Tostitos in conjunction with the U.S.O., featured two of the greatest college coaches of all time taking control of the helm. Bobby Bowden and Gene Stallings had the pleasure of leading the two teams, which included former players such as Arrington, Jim Kelly, Rodney Peete, Jevon Kearse and Zach Thomas among others.
Highlights of the event can be seen at halftime of the 2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl on ESPN on January 1, 2011.

Tiller loves him some PSU.
0% chance he’d post anything is Shawn Springs did this exact same thing.

LOL, you know me too well brother
Don't ever let failure get you down. Remember, a very successful major league hitter failes 70% of the time.

Don't want to spoil the halftime show for the Fiesta Bowl
Gotta watch on Jan 1st if you want to see more.

I'm really happy that he's supporting the troops...
But the way he feuded with Gibbs, constantly whined, and stabbed us in the back… I don’t consider him a former Redskins, Rodney Peete played for the Skins and he wasn’t mentioned in the headlines.
It was undisclosed

This is a wonderful thing. I wish him nothing but the very best. It is good to see retired players take the time, money and effort to go out and help our troops. I really admire him for doing it. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Lavar.
