NASHVILLE – Tennessee State football's head coach Eddie George will lead a group of draft-eligible college players in the NFLPA Bowl (National Football League Players Association), as he has been named one of the head coaches along with Jeff Fisher for this year's event. The game will take place on January 28 and will continue its tradition of being played at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif.
 
George will be coaching against his former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, who was also a coach in last year's event. Fisher brings 22 years of NFL head coaching experience with the Titans and Rams and is now the leader of the USFL's Michigan Panthers. Fisher was able to coach former TSU players Cory Rahman and Eddie Graham last season in the USFL.
 
The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is the premier postseason all-star game for any draft-eligible college football player. More than just a game, this week-long experience provides players with the opportunity to showcase their game to NFL scouts and coaches, while learning from the best in the business. The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl not only prepares players for the speed and intensity of professional football, but also for the business and lifestyle changes that come with it.

Nearly 200 scouts, player personnel staff, general managers, and head coaches from all 32 NFL teams are expected to be in attendance to watch live practices, conduct player interviews and review tape.
