Long overdue


NFL will hold a combine for HBCU and International Players

They already held regional combines for basically the same players. Don't seem like it's no difference from that.

Me and others been saying they need something like this for years. Give these kids the same pub and Official NFL feel of the Combine. NFL Network ain’t showing shit else during this time of year so put this Combine on too. Drop a lil HBCU History too. It’s so many angles they can go with this Combine

I don't understand why Jordan Bentley name is not mentioned among top HBCU players.

I don't understand why Jordan Bentley name is not mentioned among top HBCU players.

IMO I think Jordan may just want to be an engineer and doesn't have the desire to play at the next level which is understandable...

Is that list complete, or is it a work in progress?

Hey Journalist, shouldn't SU expect a few more invites?

[the band fan]

my only thing is being categorized as if HBCU is something different than mainstream?

Its good that we have different opportunities than our FCS counterparts but I hope tihs combine gets someone looked at to prove its more than a PR stunt

What about Joe Davis, I believe his name is? He played on defense for SU.
