Former Alabama C Ryan Kelly and former Auburn OT Shon Coleman entertained us all during their time in the Iron Bowl rivalry.
Now, according to Auburn beat writer Brandon Marcello, the two are hoping to entertain us with that rivalry one more time– For a good cause.
The offensive linemen will be participating in this month’s NFL Combine as they work toward careers in professional football.
Part of the evaluation that goes on during the Combine involves the bench press.
Kelly and Coleman are partnering with the Eagle Fund to support wounded special forces officers by raising money for each repetition they’re able to complete during their evaluations.
They are asking for people to pledge to donate on a “per rep” basis, which means the better they perform in this competition the more money they raise for the cause.
