Back in 2018, Tarik Cohen joined Jerry Rice as the only players in NFL history with 150 receiving yards, 12 receptions and a passing touchdown in a game. It was special to Cohen, since like Rice, he played his college ball at an HBCU.
“I just want to keep showing people that there are players at HBCUs, so everybody should scout them more,” Cohen, who played at North Carolina A&T, said. “And then players coming out of high school should also respect the HBCUs more and choose them as an option.”
Cohen was talking about football back then.
