What was the name of the game played between college football players and pro football players?

Question

I knew it but my mind won’t let me remember clearly.
Many years ago, there was a game played between college guys and pro guys.
A guy name Gene mentioned it in his answer to this question: Who would win in a game between the worst NFL Team against the National Championchip College Team?
In my mind, I remembered it as college seniors against the pro players.
I couldn’t remember if it was one of the teams or a pro bowl team.
Any other older guys remember this game and hopefully more accurately than I?

Answer 1

It was called the Chicago All Star game and the last one was played in July of 1976. You are incorrect as to its participants. It involved the NFL champion playing against a team of college all-stars.

Answer 2

It was indeed called the Chicago All-star game. The last game was played in 1976 and it was called at halftime with the Steelers beating the College All-stars 30-0 (i think)

The game was not called due to the blowout, but rather a lightning storm that struck the lights structures at Soldier Field.

Answer 3

Charles Borican (an African American) played with the football team at Oberlin College in 1891. He was also an accomplished track star there too.

Answer 4

Nowadays, it's called Browns vs Steelers.

It used to be called the College All-Star Game.

Answer 5

Now I am just speculating but back in the day, like way back, I believe teams like Rutgers, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Chicago, and other older universities played against amatuer like teams. In more recent times I think the Ravens scrimmaged against some small university that they were practicing at but I am not sure. Happens in baseball too.

Answer 6

There used to be a game played in the preseason called the Shrine game.
