Didn't he play for the Colts? Did Roymon Malcolm do much at Auburn (I think that's where he went)

Yes sir, he was a stud RB at NLU and they had Vincent Brisby at WR. Think Potts played for the Colts and Brisby played for the Pats. They stomped the shite out of Alcorn and Steve McNair one year. Guess that was early 90's

He was a TPOS. That's how he ended up at ULM. Word was he shot a cop and to stay outta jail he couldn't leave the state. Was supposed to go to ole miss I think.

That dude was bad! It was fun to watch him run. I forget who drafted him. He didn't last long in the NFL though.

We played against Rayville in the playoffs his senior year. Our biggest/toughest linebacker met him in the hole on the first play from scrimmage. After he got knocked off his feet (never happened before) I knew our season was over.

He was a pretty key contributor for the Colts team that played the classic AFC title game against the Steelers.
