Isaac Redman and Sabrina DiBianca "Together We Build A Community"

Doug Reed

I have the pleasure of interviewing Sarina DiBianca, Silioam Wellness and Isaac Redman, former NFL player with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Legends Football Camp. Together them are teammates for the Legends Football Camp being held at Paulsboro High School NJ.  " Together They Build A Community"

On June 24th and 25th, Siloam Wellness will be hosting our annual Legends Football Camp for Philadelphia and New Jersey students ages 8-18. We are excitedly joined by Isaac Redman, former running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Kevin Ross, cornerback coach for the Tampa Bay Bucs.

The camp will run from 10am - 12pm and Saturday and Sunday, with a barbecue to follow on Sunday.

Siloam enriches the well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS by providing a broad range of integrative mind, body and spirit services and programs. Our vision is to support an HIV community that is vibrant, safe, empowered and free from stigma. As well as prevention in youth 13-24 years of age.


Isaac Redman, Redman, a running back for the Pittburgh Steelers and a Paulsboro High School graduate, started the football camp last year at the high school. The event brought out a number of other football players, including former Eagles players and other Paulsboro High School graduates like Alex Silvestro and Gerald Hodges, to help coach the up-and-coming athletes in a number of drills.

While the football hopefuls might not run the same 4.7 second 40 yard dash that Redman ran, they all look up to the Paulsboro native as an example of what they can accomplish in their future.

Redman said he never had an opportunity to participate in a football camp that involved professionals when he was growing up in Paulsboro. He said he runs the camp not only to benefit the Redzone Redman Foundation, a group striving to help “youth affected by physical, emotional, and socio-economic challenges,” but also to cultivate the rising culture of athletics in Paulsboro.

 

In 2012, Steelers-centric SB Nation blog Behind the Steel Curtain created what is known as the "Redman Award." The award, inspired by Isaac Redman's impressive preseason play throughout his career, was to be awarded to a Steelers player, a sixth-round draft pick or lower, who had convinced the fan base throughout the preseason that they were a "diamond in the rough."[11] Other stipulations include that the player must have spent two training camps or less with the Steelers and have had endeared themselves to the fan base regardless of their chances of making the team's final roster.

The first official appearance of the award on Behind the Steel Curtain's website was in 2014, when an article was published detailing the top candidates for the honor.[12]

The award tradition is still carried out by the writers at Behind the Steel curtain to this day, with the winner being voted on in a poll open to all readers sometime around Labor Day weekend. The winners of the award include Adrian Robinson (2012), Alan Baxter (2013), Daniel McCullers (2014), Roosevelt Nix (2015), Tyler Matakevich (2016),
