Texans' DeAndre Hopkins, Brandon Brooks: College players have power through unity

Herman Edwards says on Mike & Mike Missouri coach Gary Pinkel did what he had to do when he stood by his players in protest.

The University of Missouri football team went on strike, joining others in protesting the climate of racism on the campus. First a few players, then Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel got involved, at which point some started to think that maybe the protest they joined would ultimately lead to the resignation of both the university's president and chancellor.
