Rich Eisen running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine has become a yearly tradition that is so much more than just seeing a grown man in a suit sprinting down a football field as it is now a huge fundraiser for St. Jude Hospital and all the great work they do there for so many kids and their families.
This year there wasn’t a combine due to COVID-19 so Eisen had to find a different way to make this happen. During this past weekend’s draft coverage Eisen showed how he and some NFL greats recently went to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and got it done.
And in the process they raised over $1.7 million for St. Jude.
Eisen ran it in 6.03 seconds this year, which was a bit slower than his performance from last year, but who really cares – this one is really about the kids.
Take some time and watch this today:
Here’s the full presentation of the 2021 #RunRichRun on @nflnetwork with @richeisen explaining how 8 @nfllegends and 8 big-hearted donors came together in LA for @stjude and revealing how fast folks like @michaelvick @raylewis @terrell_davis still are. https://t.co/UkCn5upMWx pic.twitter.com/8UIfA5B6Ht
