ESPN, USA -- If you have been following the NFL draft over the last few years, there haven’t been very many black college football players taken in the draft. But that’s not an accurate reflection of the talented players coming from HBCU football. In the past three years, the NFL has received some quality players from the HBCU ranks such as Terron Armstead (New Orleans Saints, Arkansas-Pine Bluff), Larry Donnell (New York Giants, Grambling State), Chris Baker (Washington Redskins, Hampton), Ryan Davis(Jacksonville Jaguars, Bethune-Cookman) and Isaiah Crowell (Cleveland Browns, Alabama State). The MEAC and SWAC have a number of available prospects for the 2015 draft.
These players should receive invitations to the NFL combine as well as the college all-star games to showcase their skills in front of the pro scouts and general managers. Of course, they will have an opportunity to display their talents during the NFL pro days. Right now, it’s time to get an early look at some of the top HBCU players.
