Visit to AT&T Cowboys Stadium - Highlighting HBCU Talent in the NFL
The excitement was in the air as we visited the iconic AT&T Cowboys Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. This stadium stands as a symbol of excellence, not just in the NFL, but for the countless athletes who dream of making their mark on the gridiron. Among these talented players is Markquese Bell, a standout safety from Florida A&M, now making waves as a key player for the Dallas Cowboys. His journey from an HBCU to the NFL serves as inspiration for the next generation of HBCU athletes.
The talent in HBCU football is on full display as 22 former HBCU players secured spots on NFL active rosters after the annual preseason cuts. The legacy of HBCUs continues to shine across NFL teams, and some of the biggest names come from these prestigious institutions.
Players like:
Javon Hargrave (South Carolina State), now with the San Francisco 49ers
Joshua Williams (Fayetteville State), playing for the Kansas City Chiefs
Terron Armstead (Arkansas-Pine Bluff), a key part of the Miami Dolphins
Tytus Howard (Alabama State), anchoring the offensive line for the Houston Texans
These athletes, alongside Markquese Bell, prove that HBCU talent belongs on the biggest stage.
