I guess having 75% of the NFL being black just isn't enough.

Did someone ask why THEY didn't draft one?

Put it back to 12 rounds and they would get drafted.

Trying to manufacture a problem.

You sound triggered by black people having an opinion.

Is it even clear what the opinion is here? There are coaches in conferences all over the country who likely believe they have guys who are good enough to be drafted, but aren't. That isn't worth a story though.

Are HBCU coaches frustrated because they didn't get to showcase their teams last fall? Are Doug and Deion angry because the perceived talent level of HBCU programs is down? Or are they suggesting a black kid from Jackson State deserves to be drafted over a black kid from Central Arkansas just because?

You're such an insufferable douche. This doesn't have a damn thing to do with being "silent" like the "good ole days". It's that there isn't shite to the argument. If a player is good enough he'll get drafted. Period. I don't give a shite what color he is, or where he went to school. Again, you're such a stupid prick. Shitheads like you are the reason this country is so disunified and headed to the shitter.

Big Ten I hope you’re happy because your fear mongering and preemptive canceling of the season lead directly to this.

What opinion was expressed that was based in reality and not racial butthurt? If HBCUs had players that were talented enough for the NFL, the NFL would have drafted them. It's as simple as that. Should they draft people based on skin color? What would be the term for inclusion based solely on race? Oh yeah, it's racism. Stop being stupid and projecting your bullshite on other people.

Yes, because of this only 250 of the 259 players drafted were black.

Grambling has produced dozens and dozens of NFL players, including a few HOFers.

Grambling also started their season in mid-March, and played a total of 4 games.

Let’s not play football until six weeks before the draft, then only play a handful of games, then complain when NFL scouts and teams don’t have enough information to risk a draft pick on one of our players.

Williams said, “It’s hard to believe that not one guy is worthy of being drafted,” said Washington Football Team senior adviser Doug Williams, a Grambling alum and the first Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. “That to me, that’s a travesty. Hopefully, we can fix it.”

Lol! Washington had three picks in the 7th round and took players from Baylor, Penn State, and BYU.

I saw people on twitter legit saying there is no difference in talent between P5 and HBCU and that it’s attributable to less exposure and funding for the programs

So sign asa UDFA and make a team. It’s that fricking easy to fix. Here we go with “I was not drafted because I went to a HBCU”. But the previous 60 years kids made teams from the same schools.
