Happy New Year, pop the bubbly and head to the College Gridiron Showcase

When it comes to college all star games, the dominance of the East/West Shrine Game and Reese's Senior Bowl are clear. But there is a game in Fort Worth, Texas that has continued to change the way all star games are run. Jose Jefferson, founder and Executive Director of the CGS joins Neil and I to talk his origin story, his road to running an all star game and how the changing landscape of the draft process have shaped the event as we know it. From his humble (yet FAST) beginning at the University of South Dakota to his time in the Arena and Indoor Football Leagues, to coaching and eventually starting the CGS. A unique path that has continued to show his willingness to work as well as his ability to adjust. Plus, we talk players to be excited about at this years game and what new horizons he will see in 2025. @CGSAllStar @MRittCGS @GC24_Football @FloridaInternational @ShrineBowl @SeniorBowl Jose Jefferson - @JoseJefferson70 Neil Stratton - @InsidetheLeague - Succeed in Football Rodrik David - @RightStepAdv Learn more about your ad choices.
