I would love to here your favorite players in the NFL,college, and in your high school,everything! Even your kids.

for everyone who saw that i put 2 thread up about the top Southern teams.I thought i deleted 1.my bad

Obviously from my screen name this post will have an "orange" hue...lol.

First and foremost, modern players are Peyton Manning ( who if I'm not mistaken sits just to the right of the Lord in the kingdom around here!), Al Wilson...what a stud linebacker in college and now the pros. Old school, my alltime favorite has to be a Kentucky (well U of L product anyway)..Johnny Unitas.

 

College Players that I have enjoyed over the past few years - Reggie Bush..wow!, Jesse Mahelona at UT was phenominal, as was Kevin Simon and Jason Hall.

 

High school in my area - Teddy Thompson from Harlan (too bad his size doesn't match his heart), John Cole from Somerset ( only a sophmore this past year..my goodness what an upside!), Jimmy Chafin from Lynn Camp ( really athletic...someone should take a D1 chance on him), Chase Hamlin from Williamsburg - great hands, decent size, if he gets stronger and faster could be a wonderful prospect, Aaron Root also from Williamsburg - this dog hunts! I love the way he gets after it at linebacker, 5'9" 185 lbs make him a bit like Thompson, alot of heart and he's getting stronger and faster and definitelly has a head for the game, and last but not least Clint Cashen at Corbin...height may hurt him as far as the next level, but can make all the throws and leadership drips off him.

 

Hope this was what you were looking for and thanks for starting this thread. It was fun to reminicse a little bit!

The guys that love the game and play with every ounce of effort they have. Also the guys that study film and play the game using thier smarts to their abilities.

I would love to here your favorite players in the NFL,college, and in your high school,everything! Even your kids.
