Six former Baylor football players are participating in this week’s NFL Combine in Indianapolis. All six of them are pledging one of their combine drills to Uplifting Athletes, a foundation which “shares the platform of sport with the rare disease cause and raises it as a national priority.”
James Lynch, an All-American defensive lineman this past season, dedicated his bench press to this cause and has helped raise approximately $2,180 so far. He said that this is an easy way to raise funds, and awareness, for a good cause.
It’s a very simple way to just help raise awareness,” Lynch said.
