Run Rich Run takes spotlight on final day of NFL draft

What started as a dare during the NFL Scouting Combine has morphed into something much more for Rich Eisen

PASADENA, Calif. -- What started as a dare during the NFL Scouting Combine has morphed into much more for Rich Eisen.

Last Saturday at the Rose Bowl, the NFL Network host participated in his 18th “Run Rich Run.” Eisen donned his suit and tie to run the 40-yard dash at the iconic stadium, celebrating its centennial this year.

“Run Rich Run” will air during Saturday’s coverage of the final day of the NFL draft on NFL Network.

The Rose Bowl also has special meaning for Eisen. He covered the 1990 game as a University of Michigan student. It was Bo Schembechler’s last game as the Wolverines lost to USC.
