They say you can't teach speed. Willie Parker begs to differ. "We full speed now!" Parker said as he ran a running backs drill at St. David's School in Raleigh. The former Pittsburgh Steelers and UNC running back nicknamed "Fast Willie," ran a free football camp for various ages Saturday. Former UNC and NFL running back Shaun Draughn also assisted.
