"Whenever I see him, it's always Mr. Williams" respect is so heartwarming when it's pure

[derricktyler]

That Doug Williams segment got me in tears. I'm not a Redskins fan but I remember that game. What a great man.

[GrantYT]

HBCU means Historically Black Colleges and Universities just in case you guys didn't read the description and are confused about what it means Edit: I forgot to add case after "just in" so now

When Micheal Strahan is number 10, then you know this list is INSANE

[dwightlove]

The old AFL was the first league to realize the potential of the players to come from the HBCUs.

Finally NFL Top 10 does an episode on HBCUs. Some of the best players in NFL history have come from these schools and they are still the breeding ground for underrated talents to have a college career and get into the NFL. Look at Tarik Cohen and Darius Leonard they show that HBCUs still produce NFL talent.

A couple of other names that I'll mention that could have been candidates for this list or Best of Rest:

Donald Driver- Alcorn State, the Packers all time leader in multiple recieving categories

Everson Walls, Grambling State- one of the best secondary players of his era, 4x Pro Bowl, 3x All Pro, led NFL in picks 3 times

Too Tall Jones AND Richard Dent, Tennessee State- two of the all-time defensive studs

Harry Carson, South Carolina State- defensive monster on the Giants

Bullet Bob Hayes, Florida A&M- fastest man of his time

Larry Little, Bethune-Cookman

John Stallworth, Alabama A&M

And the greatest thing about this list... ALL of these players are Hall of Famers! As a graduate of Howard University, this list is a great reminder of the stock that I came from! One of the best list NFL Films/Network has ever done! It's this list that earned my subscription! #blackexcellence #overallgreatness

[laquintinbelser]

I think steve Mcnair should be honorable mention at least...

[MrJLov]

Disappointed that my guy "Bullet Bob" Hayes didn't make this list.

Maybe I'm a little bit biased being that he's from my alma mater of Florida A&M University, but I would think that a Hall of Fame Player with the impact he's had on the game should have been on this list.

Doing a HBCU Tour on my motorcycle (89 schools so far) 😁
The experience is unbelievable ✊🏿

[cornellgreen]

The American Football League put HBCUs on the map. They found so many great players at the HBCUs that the NFL started to take notice.

Willie Lanier, Robert Holmes. Fred Williamson, Earl Faison, Buck Buchanan, Ernie Ladd, and so many others I can't come up with. The AFL was looking for talent to tip the scales in their favor, and they were the HBCUs' coming-out party. That is another legacy of the AFL.

For the guy who didn't know who Elvis Peacock is, he was a running back with Oklahoma from 74 to 77. He won two national championships and started ahead of Billy Sims for two years. Just sayin.

[Lue.cooks]

Let's be honest, if a lot of these african american top players in college went to HBCU's, Alabama would be NOBODY.

[Nkosinati]

No Steve McNair?! No Richard Dent?! No Ed "Too Tall" Jones?! At least show me some honorable mentions...
Maybe somebody didn't realize that Alcorn State and Tennessee State were HBCU's....?

[vicksburgtomplsthemississi]

Adam Rank is not lying. This list could be renamed the greatest players ever.

[comacoma-fsxk]

Takeo Spikes still has the world's biggest neck and Charles Davis sounds exactly like he does in Madden 😂

[michaelwashington]

They use to have the best players until top schools with more money offered more. HBCU need a comeback

[chaosghost]

No Shannon Sharpe? No Steve McNair? He was drafted 3rd overall from an HBCU!

Deacon Jones originally said "when you go up side a man's, OR A WOMAN'S, head, they blink for a moment."

The nfl edited out the "or a woman" part lol.
