Graduated from De La Salle with Sammy. The DLS football teams were bad back then but Sammy was fun to watch put on a one man show and rack up plenty yards. One of the fastest players I've ever seen run with a football. He was good at LSU and gave 100% effort all the time. If a little bigger he could have been a superstar but got a couple years in the NFL because of his speed and work ethic. Will always remember the TD pass he caught from Hodson and ran straight down the field against A&M. Their players never dreamed he was that fast.

Solid football player. Not a big guy but a tough runner and a great receiver. Really fast.

Played against him in high school, he was a one man wrecking crew for De La Salle and was a good player at LSU.

...the pass was actually from Mickey Guidry...he was in at the time for his obligatory set of downs.
