The 2024 NFL Draft took place in Detroit. HBCU players have subsequently received rookie contracts from several NFL teams. HBCUs continue to play an important role in producing first class football talent. More than 50% of HBCU coaches have played in the NFL. More than 35 HBCU players are currently in the Football Hall of Fame. We are very proud of these exceptional athletes and we salute their achievements and send all the best to their families.
