tcjkbt Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I don't want to sidetrack the thread, but it might be a factor to include - how many Louisville players played in the NFL? Lenny Lyles Steve Wright Carwell Gardner Jeff Brohm Michael Bush Joe Jacoby (needs to be added to the list) Will Woford Devante Parker Joe Federspiel Chris Redman (I think) Dicky Lyons Michael Bush Sam Gruneisen Bob Talamini (sp) ..................................et al.

PepRock01 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 This is the one for me. Absolutely amazing. Watching what he managed to do with six inches of snow on the ground in the 2000 state championship game was something else. Seriously? You just had to bring that up. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigercat Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Rick Norton in NFL, and I believe Sherman Lewis. Forgotten is Ken Lehmann from Flaget (late 50s, early 60s) in the CFL Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpride94 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 TE Ibn Green from Male. Was All American at UL in late 90’s. Over 2800 yds receiving over 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatz Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Rick Norton in NFL, and I believe Sherman Lewis. Forgotten is Ken Lehmann from Flaget (late 50s, early 60s) in the CFL Hall of Fame. Rick Norton was good but is he better than the Brohm’s, Phil Simms, or Paul Hornung? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigercat Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Good question. Classic drop back passer. Not a runner, which is a difference. All American. First ever pick of the Dolphins. No OL there and he got hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
