Colorado 4th grader Nicole Swift had the coolest show-n-tell guest this week. Denver Broncos' rookie sensation wide receiver Eddie Royal was a guest at Fairmount Elementary in Golden, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. According to 9News in Denver, Swift was one of 34 winners in a nationwide contest to bring and NFL player to school. It was also the first time the Royal visited an elementary school since becoming a pro athlete."It was great," Royal told 9News. "Just coming out to see these kids. They were so excited. I haven't been back to elementary school in a long time. So, it was good to come back."
Royal also said that when he was in elementary school in Virginia, he never experienced an NFL player hanging out with the kids in his school. His visit to Fairmount is part of a program to help teach kids the benefits of being healthy and staying fit. As for Swift, she told 9News that this will be a day she'll "remember for a long time."
