Kudos to Rich Eisen...

Eisen runs a 6.02 40-yard dash at the 2017 combine

One of the NFL’s finest spring traditions is the combine’s “Run Rich Run,” in which a 47-year-old reporter takes to the turf to leg out 40 of the most labored yards you’ll ever see. Rich Eisen has been taking part in the NFL Draft Combine’s most famous event since 2005, when he clocked in at a glacial 6.94 seconds. Since then, he’s been working to trim his times down to late-era Vince Wilfork-ian speed.

But Eisen doesn’t just hit the field for his own benefit. His run helps raise money and awareness for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The NFL Network will donate $1 for every tweet that includes both #RunRichRun and #StJude, up to $25,000.

In addition to his outstanding broadcasting career, Eisen, who served as the emcee of this prestigious event for three years became a key advocate for St. Jude by adding a charitable component to his annual Run Rich Run at the NFL Scouting Combine. Rich's campaign has helped to raise more than $300,000 for the kids of St. Jude.
