Bo Jackson. 2 sport start
Marcus Dupree- size, power and speed
Josh Hamilton - drugs, saw him in single A when he first signed. He had the goods.
Sam Bowie only basketball player i can think of.


Marcus Lattimore would have been a really good pro.

Chris was one of the best I ever played against in basketball and football.


He really was. Dominant on the football field and explosive on the basketball court… he was ‘Mossing’ kids in HS before it was cool to moss kids. I’ve seen him do some incredible things on the field and wasnt the least bit shocked that he went to the NFL

Ohio State is recruiting his son. Get ready to cry. This is a touching story. The Story of Chris Henry's organ donatiions


Yea that was a cool story. His son reminds me a lot of him. Chris was a great athlete and his QB in high school, Shane Shelley was incredible also. They were a dynamic duo. I’ll never forgive parkview for what they did to us in the dome

Michael Vick.


The 30 for 30 on him had a part about him throwing dvd's or playboys in his truck and never opening them.

Good choice. I would say that Ernie Davis may have been the most tragic case I can think of, On the precipice of his NFL career, he was diagnosed with Leukemia.

He averaged 7.8 YPC in his junior season at Syracuse. 6.6 ypc for his whole college career.

decent NFL career if he didn’t pass away falling out of the back of a moving truck


You would have figured that he had better hands....

6’6”, 4.38 forty at the combine, athleticism coded in his DNA (played basketball at Arkansas too). Just didn’t have it between the ears to make the most of his potential in the pros.



Matt isn't a dumb guy. He got popped on Dickson for something probably 75% of the league has fooled around with. Bad choice for sure but had a lot more to do with him not loving Football.

He was always over it.

Josh Hamilton won an MVP and was a 5x all star?

JaMarcus Russell should be up on this list.

The Story of Chris Henry's organ donations

definitely will make you cry .... several years ago my office was located next door to LOPA (LA Organ Procurement Agency). That CBS story had just aired and Chris' mom was in town as a guest speaker to promote organ donation. She was leaving the LOPA office and carrying Chris' blanket as I immediately recognized her. I let her know that I was an organ donor, and she was in my thoughts and prayers. I thanked her for sharing Chris' story and shed a few more tears walking to my car. I'm older than Chris as we played vs. Belle Chase many times in HS as there are some great people in that community.
