Tennessee State University’s (TSU) head football coach, Eddie George, will lead a group of draft-eligible college players in the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) Bowl. The game will take place on Jan. 28 and will continue the tradition of being played at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California.

George will be coaching against his former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, who served as a coach in last year’s event.

Fisher brings 22 years of NFL head coaching experience with the Titans and Rams, and is now the leader of the USFL’s Michigan Panthers. Fisher coached former TSU players Cory Rahman and Eddie Graham last season in the USFL.

The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is the premier postseason, all-star game for any draft-eligible college football player. The week-long experience provides players with the opportunity to showcase their game to NFL scouts and coaches, while learning from the best in the business. The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl not only prepares players for the speed and intensity of professional football, but also for the business and lifestyle changes that come with it.

The event was founded in 2012 and gives players the best opportunity to showcase their talents to potential employers and fans. Nearly 200 scouts, player personnel staff, general managers and head coaches from all 32 NFL teams are expected to be in attendance to watch live practices, conduct player interviews and review tape.
