John Stephens was a running back at Northwestern State in the 80s. Went to the Pro Bowl as a rookie for the Patriots, and had a six-year NFL career. He died in 2009 after a car wreck.

He had a son with a pretty good track athlete.

The son, featured in a Shreveport Times article, is playing DE and wide receiver for Logansport High. LINK

The article says he went from a 5-foot-6, 140-pound freshman to a 6-4 ½, 210-pound junior with a 7-foot wing span.

His mom sounds like a class act who is raising him right.

He loves shrimp etouffee and gumbo, so maybe Coach O has a leg up.
