According to this morning’s episode of Good Morning Football on the NFL Network, the Tennessee State University wide receiver Chris Rowland made an appearance and mentioned the Los Angeles Rams as one of the few teams that he’s had the chance to speak with up to this point. Rowland, along with dozens of other prospects from HBCU schools, lost the chance to perform in front of NFL personnel when the coronavirus pandemic forced the NFL to cancel the HBCU Combine in early March.
