Isaiah Bolden was the sole HBCU player selected in this year's draft. While the Jackson State cornerback and returner said he will 'hold it down' for products of historically black colleges and universities, his former coach Deion Sanders shared more thoughts on the draft.
Sanders led Jackson State from 2020-22. His former All-SWAC linebacker Aubrey Miller, Arkansas-Pine Bluff offensive lineman Mark Evans II and FAMU star Isaiah Land are likely the three other"draft worthy" HBCU players he referenced.
The he turn out for that event led to a stern social media message from Sanders, evidence that he has no issue holding the league accountable.
