Chadwick Boseman’s passing caused the sports world to mourn his loss. Syracuse football was graced by his acting role in ‘The Express’.
Chadwick Boseman was a star. The actor known for his role as the ‘Black Panther’ passed away after a battle with colon cancer. He was 43 years old. But he got his first movie role in ‘The Express’, where Boseman played Syracuse football legend, Floyd Little.
‘The Express’ followed the journey of former Orange star Ernie Davis. Davis filled the shoes of Jim Brown, was the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy, and carried Syracuse football to its first and only national championship.
