    Best players to come from your HS

    Forney HS in Texas, 3a for a longtime, 4a the past 3 years

    No one outstanding from my school NFL wise.

    Only notables.
    1. Dabryan Blanton - Fastest player to come out of Texas in any class in 2001, top 50 on rivals. Went to OU but never played, ended up winning multiple championships in track. Runs for nike now.

    2. Caleb Hanie - QB for CSU. Had really good season going, then the entire team imploded and the bowl game slipped away.

            At my first high school, Broughton, Raleigh NC:

            QB Daniel Evans- NC State

            I don't remember the other guys but apparently there are a lot of guys that I played with who play for NC State now.

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              I went to East Bank High school in WV and our biggest rival was Dupont High in which Randy Moss played for. I saw him play numerous times. Now both High schools are consolidated.

                        Missoula Big Sky High School (Class AA, biggest class in Montana)

                        WR/DB Jeremy Watkins (Montana WR '95-'99) I think he's in the top 10 or possibly top 5 in career receiving at UM.

                        Quick story about Jeremy in HS. He led Big Sky to its only State Championship in 1994 as a senior. He beat CMR high school in 94 in the regular season(who was led by QB Ryan Leaf). But the best game of his career was in the state semifinals against state powerhouse Helena Capital. He scored all 5 TDs at Capital (2 receiving, 1 rushing, 1 KR, and 1 INT). Unbelievable performance.

                              Clarke Hinkle was a hard-nosed player who loved to challenge his opponent. He was a pile-driving runner but he could turn the corner as well as hit the middle. Hinkle could catch the ball out of the backfield and was also the Packers' punter and placekicker.

                              As brilliant as he was on offense, Hinkle may have been even deadlier on defense. Backing up the Packers line, he was a vicious tackler against the run and terrific on pass defense – Hinkle proudly claimed he let only one receiver get behind him during his decade of pro football.

                              During his 10 years with the Green Bay Packers, Hinkle was named first- or second-team all-league each year. But, he is best remembered for his head-to-head duels with another great fullback-linebacker, Bronko Nagurski of the Chicago Bears. Nagurski was the prototype power runner of the 1930s but the rugged Hinkle, 30 pounds lighter, was determined to hold his own with anyone on an NFL gridiron. Hinkle's creed was "get to the Bronk before he gets to me," a tactic he used to perfection one day in 1934. Trapped on the sidelines by Nagurski, Clarke escaped his tackle by driving directly into and over him. The Bears' superstar was helped from the field with a broken nose and a fractured rib.

                              Hinkle, with his burning desire to compete and willingness to play in spite of painful injuries, always enjoyed the lasting respect of friend and foe alike. Nagurski himself turned out to be Clarke's staunchest press agent and even presented him for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1964.

                              "They said I was hard to tackle, but here was a guy who didn't have too much trouble," Nagurski said of his Green Bay foe. When he retired after the 1941 season, Clarke Hinkle was the leading rusher in NFL history.
