How many guys has your team sent to the NFL?

• Thinthickbigred

  OVAC I really would like to know ....I dont have the Steubenville # off hand but somebody will get it..
• CenterBHSFan

  

  Don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but I'm thinking that as far as the OVAC goes, it's probably a tie between Bellaire and Weirton.
• Thinthickbigred

  Bellaire got some nice ones ......Big Red is up near the top but hasnt produced as many as we should have......We havent had a guy for awhile ...... We might have a few in a few more years though

  Westerville South:
  
  Ki-Jana Carter
  Andy Katzenmoyer
  Lance Moore
  
  Not sure if there are others but those are the big 3. Lance's brother Nick has had a few chances but nothing panned out. He is now in the CFL.
• Thinthickbigred

  Steubenville Big Red has produced 15 pro football players 11in NFL 1 Calvin Jones went to the CFL back in the 50's ..He was an Outland trophy winner..My guess is the racial prblems back then but then we had a few more really great ones but race was an issue or we would probably have 20 something 3 more guys in the Arena league ..Chuck Hython should have been in the NFL and be going to the hall of fame ..thats how good he was ..I knew a few more but we still have a pretty nice #
