I just discovered that I know an NFL player! Not, of course, that he probably has any clue who I am. But still, who wants to touch me? I went to Dobie High School.

That's probably a pretty safe way to do it since in general Texas is going to have better players than Kansas or Iowa or A&M, but it's also pretty lazy.

Mack's had one drafted (DJ) in 10 years. Two others (Wilkins & Lewis) made rosters. Powerhouse program Purdue has had six drafted since 2002 (7 years). At least three played high school ball in Texas. Two more LB’s from Texas high schools drafted.

Interesting that the first two Texans off the board were 2-star recruits coming out of HS.

JMO, but it seems that other than becoming bigger and stronger, our DLine recruits devolve (good word?) rather than evolve after they get here.

Glad to see THREE kids from my old stomping grounds get a chance to keep playing on an even bigger stage. Congrats to them. I grew up in Alief from 3d grade through HS, and am an Elsik grad.
