Best NFL Player From Your State

NFL+ had an article today on the best players born in each state (couldn’t read it as I’ve been cutting a lot of costs lately). But it did get me thinking:

 

I’m not a Steelers fan at all, those of you who know me already know this. But I’d have to say Rod Woodson is the greatest born and raised Hoosier (born in Fort Wayne) to play the game. One of the greatest corners ever, still has records for fumble recoveries (32) and interceptions returned for a TD (12). 
 

11 pro bowls. NFL Defensive POY (1993). Tied with Charles Woodson and Darren Sharper for most total defensive TDs (13). Super Bowl champion with the Ravens. 
 

I’d say that’s enough to put him as the best player from Indiana. 
 

Who’s the best from your state?

Well let’s see it would probably have to be Dwight Freeny and what do you know, he just so happens to have been a Colt for the bulk of his career. I’m from Connecticut btw!

 

noteable mentions 

Byron Jones - CB 

Terrance Knighton - DT

Jason Pinnock - Current safety for the Giants.

Andrew Pinnock - FB and also Jason Pinnock father.

Aaron Hernandez - controversial one here obviously.

I’m from Iowa so I’ll have to say my 2 boys Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders. Though I don’t think Sanders is actually from Iowa. 
 

Fun fact about Dallas though.. his best friend from high school, his daughter, is dating my cousin. I’m still waiting to meet him lol

 

as far as the goat though.. Kurt Warner 

Sanders is from Erie, Pa

Sure do, I know for sure @DEColtsLover36 and there’s a few others. 

Hey yup, thanks for the shout out! Philly born and raised :D Whoot Whooooot PA! :banana:

 

Currently residing in DE now, so for this thread I can definitely mention Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay WR) who is from my exact town here in DE. We had some signs up around the town for him when Tampa won the SB :applause:

 

Also, our guy Flacco went to the University of DE. Does that count? I’m making that count. Delaware doesn’t have a lot going on. LOL

 Bo Jackson(even tho he went to Auburn :thmdown::yuk: )

Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete of all-time, if anyone thinks otherwise, I want what they are drinking chuckling homer simpson GIF. He was a great NFL football player/RB, good Pro baseball player. Could bench press 450 pounds down to chest and up once and run a 40 in 4.1.

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      He is and he is overrated. He is a great player but I could even argue his teammate Brown is better. Let me say this, I know I come off as a Tatum hater, I really am not. He just never performs in the playoffs like a #1 option. Brown won the MVP for example. Take Brown off that team and the Mavs would have definitely beat them then. Tatum is on a loaded team, they have Brown, Porzingis, White, Holiday, and Horford.    Off the top of my head, players that are better than Tatum are: Joker, Luka, Giannis, Embiid, Edwards, SGA, and even Brown - so he isn't top 7. I would even take Brunson and Haliburton over him - they have more responsibility playing PG and are young as well. I have Tatum top 10 - he is slightly better than Butler and Mitchell, Tatum is great but shaky at times, he cracks my top 10 because LeBron, Curry, and Durant are old and Leonard is always injured. Without Haliburton, the Pacers would be a .500 team. Without Brunson so would the Knicks. Without Tatum, Boston would still win 55 games with Brown/Porzingis/Holiday/White/Horford, they could have won around 70 this past season but quit playing the last 2 weeks.

      Caitlin Clark selected #1 by Fever/ Fever 2024 Season Thread **Updated title**

      Fever are now in 7th, 8 teams make the playoffs. I think they will get in. Clark is great already, I figured she would be. Screw her critics!

      The whole division stinks except for the Brewers and Cards. Cubs have played like doo doo and are only 1 game out of 3rd place  .

      Rookie Khyree Jackson killed in crash

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      This is another reason why we should enjoy our time here and not bicker with friends and family. A life can be gone in a split-second no matter how big and strong anyone is. This is truly sad, and the kid had everything. RIP.   Word of advice, if you are going to drink alcohol, that is fine but DONT DRIVE!
