On Tuesday, the Black College Football Hall of Fame announced its Class of 2022 inductees. Established in 2009, the Hall recognizes the great players who have come from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCUs.
This year's player class is stellar: John "Big Train" Moody was a star at Morris Brown in the first half of the 20th century; receiver Sammy White was a two-time NFL Pro Bowler and 1976 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Vikings; receiver Donald Driver, a three-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl winner with the Packers; offensive lineman Nate Newton, a two-time All-Pro, three-time Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowler with Dallas; and Patriots tight end Ben Coates, a member of 1990s All-Decade team, three-time All-Pro, and five-time Pro Bowler who won a Super Bowl with the Ravens in 2000, his final season.
