Sean Taylor didn't even start at Miami as a freshman. If I remember correctly he didn't even really breakout until the second half of 2002.

Barry Switzer has said Earl Campbell was the only player he ever saw that could go from HS to he pros

When asked to compare Billy Sims of Oklahoma, who won the Heisman Trophy the year after Campbell, Sooners’ coach Barry Switzer said, "Earl Campbell is the greatest player that ever suited up. He’s the greatest football player I’ve ever seen. Billy Sims is human. Campbell isn’t."

I was a Freshman and I went watch my cousin play for John Curtis 8th grade team. Ryan Perriloux at QB and as a 6th grader Joe McKnight was the running back.

Also, I still think Perriloux could have went pro in baseball

You can tell I'm from Atlanta when the only people I've seen in high school are basketball players.

Julius Peppers and Clowney to get some DE's in here.

And I honestly think Nkemdiche is that good.



Adrian Peterson is the most obvious one in a long time IMO. That dude would've been Rookie of the Year as an 18 year old RB which is ABSURD.
