WILLIAMSBURG -- Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman will headline William and Mary football coach Jimmye Laycock's 21st annual Colonial All-Pro football camp in Williamsburg.

Sherman will be joined by Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy and Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker during the three-day camp that will start on Sunday.

The camp is for boys, ages 8 through rising seniors in high school. The camp will include instruction from W&M coaches and players, as well as high school coaches from around the Peninsula.

Sherman led the National Football League in interceptions (8) last year,  including the game-clinching pick of San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the closing seconds of the NFL championship game.

McCoy led the league in rushing yards with 1,607 and nine touchdowns. He also caught 52 passes for 539 yards in first-year coach Chip Kelly's high-octane offensive attack.

Welker had a solid season in his first year with the Denver Bronocs. the All-Pro receiver caught 73 passes for 778 yards and 10 touchdowns in 13 games in 2013-14.

Laycock's camp has always high-profile talent, including Andrew Luck, Dan Marino, Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Jerome Bettis and Larry Fitzgerald.
