"Although they were our opponents, I was proud to see those guys have an opportunity to play in the NFL," said Little who attended Bethune-Cookman University and later played 12 seasons for the Miami Dolphins. "That's how much pride I had - still have - in going to a HBCU."
"It definitely was a part of my make up going through that HBCU experience, Not having as many resources, just being able to work with what we got and band together as a team," Armstead said.
Roughly 10% of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is comprised of players who went to HBCUs, a striking number considering the small size of many institutions.
