Watch Willie Anderson play in high school his school (VIGOR) was our rivals (Murphy), he has fast, strong and dominate.Also when I was a Freshman our team had Keith Mccants (Former Bucs 1st round draft choice), he was like a man amoung boys. He was the fastest, strongest, most athletic player in the field in every game. He could have played Running Back or Wide Reciever if he wanted. In practice he would let a player catch the ball and then hit him as hard as he could to see if he make him fumble it. Coaches had to pull him from practice because he was hurting everyone.

Yeah, I played against DJ Williams (Broncos) in High School. The only problem was that it wasnt football, it was basketball. He stole the ball from me and did a backwards dunk when he was only in 9th grade!

Just baseball. Played against several, including Mark McGwire when we was at USC. Pitched and played 1B. WAY different than he is now - pre-juice he was a rail.

played wiffleball at a graduation party for a friend with Bob Sanders 2 years before he came to the NFL. It was raining pretty hard but a bunch of people wanted to play wiffleball. Bob had like 6 at bats and he hit 6 balls that haven't landed yet. 6 ab's 6 HR's it was unreal. Great kid as well!

I played against Ryan Longwell in high school ball (Central Oregon area). He was the kicker for our biggest rival. Even as juniors/seniors in high school, we all knew he would do big things as a kicker. We'd sit on the return team and just watch the ball fly over our heads and out the endzone. Kind of a random thing, but a guy in my church is friends with the Longwells. He's got this kick-butt hot wings recipe, and Ryan took some with him to GB years ago. Supposedly this guy was getting special requests from Reggie White and Favre for his hot wings. It was like a fantasy world for him, because he's a huge Pack fan from the Lombardi days. Anyway, Longwell's a genuinely good guy. Does a lot of charitable work, including Make a Wish.I was a couple years ahead of Jed Weaver (journeyman TE in the league, mostly as a backup with SF, NE, Miami, Denver). My fondest memory of him is when he would play on the scout team, and I played safety. One practice he came up the seam, reached for a floater, and I decleated him. Knocked him out. Not the coolest thing to do your teammate, I know. In high school, as a young guy, he didn't seem like anything special. But he walked on at Oregon, earned a scholarship, and became All-American. Of course now he would absolutely murder me.

Actually, I did play with a pro player. There's a FB/LB for the Green Bay Blizzard (arena league) who played TE next to mein high school. He was a year younger. He wasn't all that impressive in high school but really beefed up in college.I also played Little League baseball against Brady Toops; a current minor league catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. He also went to my high school. The Cardinals drafted him in the 10th round 2 or 3 years ago.

My Fiancee worked out with Will Witherspoon when she was in highschool. She was a gym rat and they were fairly good friends in highschool. Might be able to claim a family member makes it pro if he plays better then he did this year. Chad Henne is my second cousin. I didn't see many games this year but I'm under the impression he didn't have as good of a season as he did last year. Not sure if he is really NFL caliber anyway.

Come on, Arena League guys? Most of them make less money then me and I work for a living.....I'm just busting your balls. These kind of thread are just goofy because most of the replys are BS anyway. People can pretend to be anything they want on the internet!

Basketball against Dan Marino when he was a high school junior in CYO league. After the game we had a pickup football game. He hit me (literally) with a pass over the middle which I dropped in pain - I looked down and had an X in the palm of my hand where the ball hit me.

Actually, your claim is by far the most believable. Again, nothing personal, just kidding around!I didn't claim it was anything special.

Where did you go to HS, Rockbottom? I'm local to the Concord/Walnut Creek area and used to watch Williams when he was at De La Salle.
Coached J.J. Arrington and Julius Peppers in Pop Warner Football Leagues ages 9-12.In non-football related athletes; I played High School Baseball with Phil Ford(UNC, and Pro Basketball Player). Also had the thrill of watching Buck Williams(Maryland, and Pro Basketball Player) when I was senior and he was a sophomore in High School. We used to see Lefty and Dean every Friday night in the gym.

I played against Charles Haley once. In a pickup basketball game. 
I was stationed with his brother in the Marine Corps and he came to visit. He was wearing a shirt that had some gym name on it, and his chest was so huge that the name of the gym stretched past both sides of his chest. He got the ball and went toward the hoop on one play and just by shifting his hips he threw me clear out of the lane- and I was no small guy even then. But he was a very nice guy.

I was a soph and he was a senior.Also played baseball with Kevin Smith, former CB for the Cowboys. Moved to Orange, TX my junior year and Smith was a senior. He was a 4-sport athlete. Not very good at baseball, but dominated at football, track and was a very good basketball player.Mud out

See the sixth point down in The Average FBG persona.
That being said, I went up against former NBA #2 overall pick Chris Washburn in high school. In track. Let's just say the high hurdles didn't seem as high to him as they did to me.
Edited to add: In the FFA, the average FBG did much better in his high school match-ups vs. future pro athletes. The stories in here are a bit more, shall we say, realistic.
