Fact of the Day: In the 1960 NFL draft Ernie Barnes was selected in the 10th round by the Baltimore Colts where he wore #73. 

A true pioneer, Barnes was one of just nine HBCU players drafted of 240 players and one of the 30 black players selected. His legacy continues to light the way, and his impact on the NFL is still felt. 

A special shoutout to Davius Richard, the QB from North Carolina Central University, Barnes’ alma mater, who carries on this legacy as a potential NFL Draftee.

Here's a toast to the bright journeys ahead for the HBCU draftees and a nod to the giants like Barnes who blazed the trail.
