Best NFL Player From Your State


RollerColt

Recommended Posts

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

Alabama

 

 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.

    • They want to give the young DBs a chance, like they've been saying since the end of the season. Maybe losing Daniel Scott (again) changes things a little, making it slightly more likely that they add a veteran at some point. But it's been a month and they haven't done anything, so I assume they'll wait and see what camp looks like.   I personally would prefer that they sign a qualified veteran, even if he's not an incredible game changer. Any of the vets whose names we've been throwing around since March would be nice to have. But they obviously aren't eager to do that, and I don't think it's about cost at this point. I think it's about giving the young players room to prove themselves.    There a few veteran established safeties and corners still unsigned. I think they have options, at least for now.
    • This really bothers me because many people don't know this, but the Vikings are my 2nd favorite team because my father was a diehard Vikings fan. I have never really posted that I don't think, maybe I did to @NFLfanat one time? I liked Denver too when Peyton went there but who didn't lol. I grew up having to hear my dad talk about Fran the greatest QB ever and in 1998 when they had Cunningham, Moss, Carter, Smith, and Randle - it was nonstop. So this hits home with me pretty deep. That is another reason why, I always barked backed at people talking bad about Kirk, because he was actually good. 
    • I had him 3rd round too. He was possibly winning a starting job on the Vikings outside of Byron Murphy if I remember right. Had a bright future. Hate when this happens. As you said, only 24. Way too young to die. I just turned 37 July 1st, so that's scary to think about.
    • Kid had everything, big, strong, fast, had the enjoyment of being drafted by the Vikings family, was going to make big money too. I had him going 3rd round coming out, I was close. This is really sad, only 24!
    • This was terrible. You never expect an active NFL player to pass away, much less someone who just got drafted a month ago. RIP Khyree Jackson and his teammates.   Also my condolences to @NFLfan. Must be tough to go through this as a fan of the Vikings. This is a nightmarish situation. My best friend is a Marlins fan in baseball, and he had to go through this with Jose Fernandez.    I thought Jackson was going to be a hit at the NFL level. Unfortunately, we will never know. Prayers to his friends and family that they can get through this tragedy.
