The NFL did something very nice before Super Bowl LI. The league honored the Hall of Fame players from HBCU’s. The contribution of HBCU’s to society at large often goes unnoticed and unmentioned. The contributions to the NFL are numerous, and include legends like Jerry Rice.
Take a look at the video of some of these legends below courtesy of Grambling State Twitter.
