Logo of a small college football powerhouse, the Grambling State Tigers. Coached for 57 years by the legendary Eddie Robinson, the winningest coach in college football history, the Tigers became known as a school that regularly sent players on to the professional level. When Robinson retired in 1997, his successor was one of those players, former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams. The list of Grambling players who played in the NFL includes four Hall of Famers – Buck Buchanan, Willie Brown, Willie Davis and Charlie Joiner.
