For Immediate Release
January 18, 2023
From Pro Bowlers and Pro Football Hall of Famers to Super Bowl champions and seasoned gurus, the assistant coaches for the 2023 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl boast a wealth of football experience.
Head coaches Eddie George (National Team) and Jeff Fisher (American Team) unveiled their respective coaching staffs Wednesday, giving this year’s class of NFLPA Collegiate Bowl participants a taste of the world-class training they will receive in preparation for the 11th annual showcase – as well as for their looming professional football careers.
For the National Team, Hall of Fame legend Jackie Slater is returning for a seventh straight year to serve as one of the offensive linemen coaches. He will be joined by the likes of former first-team All-Pro Keith Bulluck (linebackers coach), who starred alongside George for the Tennessee Titans; five-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Andre Rison (wide receivers coach); and two-time Super Bowl champ Brandon Jacobs (offensive coaching intern).
On the other side, Fisher’s American Team staff features current and former standout NFL players. Known as one of the greatest return specialists of all time, Josh Cribbs is back as special teams coach, while one-time Pro Bowl wideout Chris Chambers is returning to coach up the wide receiver group. Serving in the role of active player intern is Seattle wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who has earned All-Pro honors three times and once led the league in kickoff return yards during his eight-year career with the Seahawks.
The 11th NFLPA Collegiate Bowl will be played on Saturday, January 28 at the historic Rose Bowl Stadium in California, bringing together top draft-eligible players from colleges and conferences across the country. The much-anticipated showcase will be broadcast on NFL Network with kickoff scheduled for 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
