The 1990s saw a huge infusion of notable HBCU football players who made their mark on the game. Michael Strahan came out of Texas Southern and became a defensive stalworth, then turning his success on the football field into a thriving media career. Alcorn’s Steve McNair made history, becoming the highest-drafted offensive player out of an HBCU. Let’s not forget Eddie Robinson Jr., who played for the Houston Oilers and is now the coach of the Alabama State Hornets.

Let’s spotlight the amazing HBCU talent that was drafted from 1991-1995.
