This year is the first year, NFL Draft Diamonds was affiliated with the Hula Bowl and our staff at the Hula Bowl did a terrific job. From the scouting staff, to ownership, and to all the people who assisted to make the Hula Bowl amazing, your hard work is being noticed!
This year the game was played at UCF’s Bounce House and it will be returning to Orlando! The game was a monster success! Eight of the athletes who participated in the 2022 Hula Bowl were drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Hula Bowl had two players drafted in the USFL draft earlier this year, with a couple petitioning to return to college. The Hula Bowl also had one of our players selected for the International Pathway Program, Thomas Odukoya will be placed on the Tennessee Titans.
Over 100 players were given an opportunity to either sign a contract with an NFL/USFL team and/or attend a mini-camp with a team on a tryout basis. Several of our players were called by the WWE as well and offered workouts. We are so proud of our players and cannot wait until 2023!
NFL Draft Diamonds was created to assist the underdogs playing the sport. We call them diamonds in the rough. My name is Damond Talbot, I have worked extremely hard to help hundreds of small school players over the past several years, and will continue my mission. We have several contributors on this site, and if they contribute their name and contact will be in the piece above. You can email me at nfldraftdiamonds@gmail.com
