I played 3A ball in the OKC area and played against several current or former NFL players...

Wes Welker - torched us 31-0 his senior year at heritage hall and played pretty much every position

Curtis Lofton - current saints LBer

TJ Rushing - former KR of the colts - played him in the playoffs and his speed was phenomenal

Chris Chamberlain - former LBer with the Rams

Jason White - no NFL but was heisman winner at OU

Dwight Freeney. Had 5 sacks in the first half (on 7 pass attempts) and didn't play the second half of a 66-6 rout


Not really a great athlete, but Carl Pavano threw a no-hitter and had 2 HR against us in American Legion ball.

I didn't play football but my school played Charles Woodson's team when I was a student. It... didn't go well.

(pretty much 30 minutes of this, LINK , before a well-deserved second half rest.)

The only person I can think of is Jared Mitchell. I played against him in baseball and he was on my peewee basketball team.

We won the league championship two years in a row because of him.

I could drop an insanely large list of people who were Olympians down to state record holders, or college all americans, but nobody cares it's swimming. I guess I will say lochte didn't break my state record in an event he currently holds the world record in. I did play soccer with NFL wr dez white. I also played baseball against a kid who signed to play rb for 96 nebraska... unfortunately he was lawrence phillips before lawrence phillips. beat a guy down on the bball court and never made it to campus, robert "piggy" pollard. I guess that team had young ca$h too, a rapper signed to t-pain's label lol
