Goodell statement in memory of Eddie Robinson
The NFL released this statement this afternoon from commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the death of former Grambling coach Eddie Robinson:
"Eddie Robinson's name is synonymous with the sport of football. We will be forever grateful for the more than 200 young men he developed at Grambling who starred in the NFL and those who later coached the next generation of NFL players. He always focused on coaching his players to be better men as well as better football players. My most vivid memory of Coach Robinson was seeing how pleased he was as he stood in the Redskins’ locker room after his former Grambling standout Doug Williams led his team to victory and was named the Super Bowl XXII MVP.
"The entire football world will miss Eddie Robinson. His contributions will never be forgotten. Our sympathies go to his family and friends."
