NBC Sports presented "Every Man a Tiger: The Eddie Robinson Story," a 30-minute special, presented commercial free by State Farm, that looks at the legendary Grambling State University football coach who sent more than 200 players to the NFL, retired as the all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I history and, for 57 seasons, led and motivated his players to successful lives both on and off the field.

During his coaching career, Robinson compiled 45 winning seasons, including winning or sharing 17 Southwestern Athletic Conference championships and eight black college football national championships.

The film, narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Andre Braugher, tells the story of Coach Robinson's remarkable career and his undying legacy through the eyes of many of his former players including Doug Williams, the Super Bowl XXII MVP who succeeded Coach Robinson as the coach at Grambling.

A trailer of the film can be viewed at NBCSports.com.
