Love that Eddie acknowledged that he was inspired by what Coach Prime did at JSU which is apart of the reason why he took the job at Tennessee State. And also, that he would use what Prime did as a blueprint pertaining to many things yet put his own finger prints on it. Thanks Eddie for keeping it real and giving Deion his credit. The fact is, Coach Prime may not be at an HBCU any longer but no matter how much people try to slander his name for leaving, the impact that he had on HBCU football will be long lasting. Job well done CP 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@severnsanders349]

Eddie George was a great player and he will be a great coach. HBCUs needs coaches like him.

[@darnellw]

This interview was great. I had no idea how well-rounded and diverse Eddie George is. He was a Beast in College and the NFL....and he had to overcome a lot to get to this stage in his life. It just goes to prove that hard work and self-discipline will take you places you've never been.

Eddie George is very well rounded and genuinely inspirational. You have to respect his journey

[@jbizniz1]

Friend and teammate from Fork Union. Played at Hampton University. He definitely knows about HBCU ball. I would always tell him how different it was. Also remember how we would dream the "What if scenarios" while in school. Literally raced him all the time and he never one. Then 1 day, I say its a tie he said he won but at 6'3 230 at that time he was on 6'0 180 wr heels. In that moment I knew he was different. We literally would talk and dream what if we won the Heisman. Then to see him work and be blessed to win it. It still gives me chills because it came true.
