The Eddie Robinson Award was presented that year to James Roe, of Norfolk State University, who later played for the Baltimore Ravens and was an offensive coordinator for the Arena Football League’s Baltimore Brigade. Robinson coached football for 57 years at Grambling State University in Louisiana and won 408 games. Rashad is an Emmy-Award-winning sportscaster who played with the St. Louis Cardinals, Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings.
