Trinida­di­an-born NFL Su­per Bowl cham­pi­on Ver­ron Haynes is plan­ning to host a camp in his home­land of Trinidad and To­ba­go to ex­pose per­sons in the Caribbean to the ba­sics of the sport.

The 46-year-old for­mer run­ning back, who won the Su­per Bowl with the Pitts­burgh Steel­ers in 2005 and, has re­vealed that he is cur­rent­ly in talks with the Na­tion­al Foot­ball League Play­ers As­so­ci­a­tion (NFLPA) to hold the camp, which he be­lieves will bring more aware­ness to the sport in the re­gion.

In an in­ter­view on i95.5 FM on Mon­day, Haynes said he the NFL was in the process of try­ing to grow the sport’s pop­u­lar­i­ty out­side of the USA, point­ing to ini­tia­tives such as NFL Eu­rope, NFL Ger­many and NFL Mex­i­co.
