Eddie Robinson made it his mission to send a black quarterback to the nfl that wouldn't have to change positions. He accomplished that with James Harris

[@ericmcgowan1993]

I wonder if dickey could tolerate his background music? I'm getting a headache 😫

[@thenamesmonte4104]

Here from the pivot

[@ericmcgowan1993]

What position did Willie Brown play in college?

[@MonnyYell]

That offense looks like a modern day offense

[@ericmcgowan1993]

That's because HBCU coaches invented the "west coast offense"

[@vbell4028]

His Coach, Big John Merritt named him the "Lord's Prayer"​@ericmcgowan1993

[@michaelhead2871]
