Despite having 22 players from HBCU schools in the NFL last season, none were drafted in 2024. The annual HBCU NFL Draft combine showed promise for the 2025 class, with key performances from athletes like Joaquin Davis and Irv Mulligan. Davis, a WR from North Carolina Central, demonstrated explosive speed and agility, while Mulligan, a RB from Jackson State, showcased his powerful rushing ability and impressive stats. As the talent pool grows, there is hope for better representation in the next NFL Draft.
Davis turned in a 4.44-second 40-yard dash and added over 25 pounds of muscle during his time at NC Central, showcasing elite athleticism for NFL scouts.
Mulligan's burst was highlighted by his stellar 1.51-second 10-yard split during a 4.58-second 40-yard dash, earning serious attention at the combine.
