Rodney Anderson, who else?

Adam Taylor, Kyle Porter, Aundre Dean, Donovonn Young... none of those dudes were anything special in college.

1 panning out doesn't speak for a bunch of others who didn't. That's what we call an anomaly. Glass is next man up, maybe he can break the trend.

Bro we good but this was your quote:

Btw, Kyle Porter, much like any RB from Katy, was overrated as hell and I always knew he wouldn't pan out in college.

Whats funny about all that 6A depth not one Running Back in the NFL from Texas 6A doing a damn thing.  Meanwhile this 33 yr old  3A dude still toting the Mail.  If it wasn't for Thurman Thomas and Big Earl I don't think old 5A/ New 6A have produced much that the little guys haven't.  The little guys are smoking it.  And even he choked away 4 SB's.  Maybe Cedric Benson  🤣

The best RBs that come out of East Texas are not the bigger Schools.   

Historically, way back in the day (before all of the current population trends)...sure, although Earl Campbell is straight from John Tyler HS.

However currently (90's - present) East Texas and Texas best players have come from big schools.

Injuries derailed this kid.  This is what they have been producing. 

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/352085-dwight-smith-the-best-unknown-player-in-college-football

As a football player in high school, he was one of the best Texas has ever seen. He lead Carthage High School to their first ever division 3-A state championship in his senior season. During that season he rushed for a whopping 2,820 yards, 11.8 yards per carry and 43 touchdowns in a single season.

That included 272 yards and five touchdowns in the state championship game.

At 5'11, 225, he has the body to be a great running back. Add that to his hand timed 4.24 and 4.39 electronic timed 40 yard dash at a USC workout and his brute strength, and you have everything you need to be a dominating running back.

Smith had one visit to USC, and then it became the thought that he would never be able to play college football, so no teams gave him offers.

USC coaches said he was not only the best player to visit that year, but the best running back they've ever had visit. A player who is widely regarded as the best player in the state of Texas, and one of the best high school running backs ever, was very unlikely to even play a single down in college.

He didn't pan out either but even if he does, he's class of 2009. Nearly a decade ago. 

Carthage players don't produce next level often.

I can put a roster together that would destroy this myth.

Just now, DevilDog said:

He is no better than Jason Peters. 

lol. right.

Well somebody better tell Peters agent to restructure his contract then, no reason why he should be getting paid significantly less than someone he's supposedly just as good as.

How Ironic that 4 of the top 19 richest offensive lineman are from Texas and only 1 is 6A. 

Trent Williams 6A

Russell Okung 5A

Peters and Johnson 3A 

Only 6A is the Lobo.  What is up with all that 6A Depth.  How the hell does Beast Texas produce 2 of the Best Oline in Football from 3A.  No way those two could have blocked a 6A D-Lineman 🤘

Another beast Texas little school guy.  Emmanuel Sanders.  4A Bellville.   I can go toe to toe with you sir.  You said they were clearly better.  I am showing that isn't true.  Now you are moving the goal posts. 

Your desperate now. lol

Since when is Bellville East Texas?

Chris Ivory is not better than A.P.

KEKE is not better than Sanders 

Hasty is not better than Ingram @ Texas

Those two OT's are money just as is Williams. 

3A TE from the Beast  Ricky seals jones

Chris Boyd Gilmer one of the Best DB's in the Nation @ Texas

Kris Boyd can cover shallow routes but can't cover a deep route to save his life...his brother is even worse than he is at LB.
