For the last two years, the showdown has been played in Selma but now the game is set to make its debut in Mobile at the end of the year.
Executive Director and co-founder Chris Williams says they’ve averaged about 20 NFL teams that come to their game. He hopes that bringing the game to mobile will bring even more.
“When I tell my friends in the NFL that we’re coming to Mobile I have gotten a congratulations every time I tell them that,” said Williams. “The reason they say that is because they understand what scouting has meant to the NFL.” 84 players and two full HBCU coaching staffs will take the field at Ladd this December. Not only is it about bringing more exposure to the players. For Williams and Grove, it’s about bringing this game back to their hometown of Mobile.
“It means everything to come back to this particular stadium,” added Williams. “To be here and be able to fulfill some people’s dreams that means everything to us.”“They need to have kids talking back to them saying hey I had a rough road or no I didn’t,” said Grove. “Kids in the community are going to get to talk to players. They are going to get to interact with players during the game.”Copyright 2023 WALA. All rights reserved.
