INDIANAPOLIS — Mark Evans II feels honored to be at this week's NFL's annual scouting combine.
The former Arkansas-Pine Bluff offensive lineman just believes more players from historically Black colleges and universities deserve to be in Indianapolis.
Nearly three years after the NFL announced its support for enhanced diversity policies and just weeks after the second Legacy Bowl and HBCU combine wrapped up, Evans and Isaiah Land are the only HBCU participants among the 319 invitees. That's half of last year's total of four.
“I feel like they're making progress, but I feel like it most definitely should be more than two,” he said Saturday.
