Good stuff Temp!

Most notable player left off the list............Jessie Bates. Arguably #1 in terms of performance.

Two guys who were absolute men among boys during their high school days................Selwyn Lymon and John Goodman. Both highly ranked but never made it past the collegiate level. Not sure Lymon even played a down for Purdue. He got into some trouble if my memory serves me correctly. 

Rod Smith was also a man among boys. Urban Meyer didn't do him any favors at Ohio State. Probably would have been an All-American had he gone to IU or Purdue.

FWIW, Bates was #45 on the list…just ahead of guys like Anthony Spencer and James Hardy.

Overall, I'm sure there's a strong correlation between stars given and the likelihood that a player will end up in the NFL. Not necessarily the case in Fort Wayne it appears. According to the rankings............1, 3, 9, 13, 15, 45, and Anthony Spencer have had the most successful NFL careers. Trai Essex, Vaughn Dunbar, Jason Fabini, and Rod Woodson were all 80's and 90's guys. Was there even a ranking back then?

We would love to take credit for him, but Wright at #6 is a Dwenger product.

Good catch. I remember Wright all to well. Not sure how one of his teams didn't win state.
