WASHINGTON, D.C. - Members of the University of Maryland football team spent part of their weekend in the hospital.
However, despite coming off a season in which 17 members of the two-deep missed at least one game, no one was in for treatment.
No, the Terps went to Children's National Medical Center Sunday to lift the spirits of the young patients.
The team is starting to become a fixture, having visited the same hospital in December, in between the end of the regular season and the Emerald Bowl. The Terps are scheduled to head there again later this spring.
Webb Dulin, Demetrius Hartsfield, Alex Schultz, Haroon Brown, Stephen Smalls, Jordan Steffy, Stephen Hargett, Ronnie Tyler, Torrey Smith, Andrew Gonnella, Dan Gronkowski, Dane Randolph, Lamar Young, Edwin Williams and Paul Lariviere all made the trip this time.
The group, accompanied by members of the Terps' Academic Support Unit, spent a couple hours with the kids, playing bingo and signing autographs.
