Probably the greatest one though was Earl Campbell....

In 1997 roughly a third of the NFL was born in Texas.

Just wait for Emmanuel Moody to hit the draft. I went to HS with him in Coppell.

campbell was a beast, but when all is said and done LT will prolly be an all time great and AP is on track to cement his name there too.

yeah i was fortunate enough to go to highschool with bruce davis who was a steeler till recently, and also marcus davis(no relation) who i think will do big things for texas.

i also had the pleasure of playing against jamaal charles(never seen anybody pull away like him on the feild) and foswhitt whittaker who (litterally) juked me out of my shoes my senior year.

Wow. That's crazy.

 

[Don Corleone]

Yeah, but some of those guys went to college in other states, meaning that Texas did a HORRIBLE job of keeping them.

It is one thing to produce talent...it is another thing to recognize it, retain it and groom it.

This man, but don't forget Dickerson and Doak Walker.
