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.
