John Taylor - 49ers
David Griggs - Chargers
Dwight Hicks - 49ers
Keith Taylor - Colts
Todd McNair - Chiefs

Tebucky Jones came out of NBHS.

Went to college with him at URI. Football team and crew team (I rowed) ate breakfast at the same time. The meals those kids ate probably explained the exorbitant meal plan prices! He was one of those tiny waist, huge shoulder, less than 3% BMI muscle guys in college, but I guess didn't have quite enough speed to make it as a 240 lber, so bulking up is what he did. Always felt a weird sense of one-sided comraderie once I heard he was a Giant even though he probably couldn't have picked me out of a lineup.

Aaron Rouse, and Plaxico went to high school in VaB

but one Duane Charles "Bill" Parcells.

.

Played on the Ravens and Texans not too long ago.

From Saratoga Springs, NY

Went to my high school

produced Bobby Wadkins, rb Chicago Bears. :)

Didn't ask for your opinion about my hometown. But since I realize your just an asshole, I'll overlook the insult.

the football player.

also Tony Siragusa from neighboring Kenelworth

Dennis Gadbois WR New England Patriots plus in MLB my father worked with the wife of Mike Burdick of the Athletics, Orioles and Mets. Very good guy.

Manahawkin did have Clark Harris the current long snapper for the Bengals.

Um, Little Egg Harbor's own Matt Saigon was chokeslammed by Kane a couple weeks ago on smack down if that counts for anything?

Brooklyn, NY
Also Ronnie blye Mike Stromberg

Dave Jennings Don McCauley

Yup. I grew up friends with Dave and played sandlot football and a lot of hoops with him. McCauley was 2 or 3 years ahead of us but I watched him many Saturdays at GC High. There was also Rick Frisbie who was a classmate of McCauley's and might have gone pro as a DB but the options out of Harvard were too attractive for him to go for it as a UDFA, I think. That high school team with McCauley and Frisbie was something.

So proud, lel.

St. Joe's Montvale game a few years ago here in Bergen County and there were 6 future NFL players on the field. 3 from each team. That's pretty incredible.

..which produced Mike Leech who was a year behind me in high school. He's been a long snapper for the Broncos and Cardinals for like 14 seasons now since graduating William and Mary in 1999 still going strong. I remember in school he was Mr Great At Every Sport

That's a good list...didn't know it was that many from that area.

Also:

Stevie Johnson -- San Francisco.

And need help with:

_________ -- Forest Hills, NY.

Mark May

Who played for the Bengals, didn't know him though. I also went to High School with Bennett Jackson's dad, but the son played in the next town over.

whom I wanted over Steve Smith, 6'5", and who is now retired at the age of 28.

Not exactly a home-town-boy-makes-good success story.

daughters attended elementary school, Austin Collie ex BYU and a pretty good #3 WR for peyton Manning's Colts. His career ended early cuz "he had a knee."

He was in the same draft (2009) as Nicks and flamed out due to injury even earlier; the 127th player taken and nowhere near Nicks' talent but a very polished WR coming out of college whom I wanted for the Giants that year...

Marco Rivera
and
Testicle Vinny (a.k.a. Vinny Testaverde)

P.S. Amos Zeroue went to nearby Mepham I think

...that lists NFL players by state.
NFL players born in New York - ( New Window )

both played for OFA (Ogdensburg Free Academy) in Ogdensburg, N.Y. in the late 1950's. Pete was the first soccer style kicker and was recognized as one of the main reasons for the merger of the NFL and the AFL, when the Giants signed him as a free agent from the Buffalo Bills in 1966.
Pete moved to Ogdensburg with his family from Hungary in 1957.
He tried out for the OFA football team, thinking it was a soccer team. His soccer style kicking was never tried before by place kickers, and revolutionized kicking. Pete graduated from OFA and played for Cornell (1961 - 1964), the Bills (1964 - 1965) and the Giants (1966 - 1974).

Keith Simms (Miami), Billy Ard (Giants)
