Probably those ones didn’t go to college, there’s actually a pretty sizable set that didn’t. Or maybe they think their high school coach did more. Some guys have just made institutions up, even guys that went to college. What they say is optional, so long as it’s not dirty nobody really cares.
“Probably those ones didn’t go to college, there’s actually a pretty sizable set that didn’t. “
Huh? I can think of two NFL players in the last 40 years who didn’t go to college (save some obscure foreign kicker). That was DT Otis Sistrunk of the Oakland Raiders (1972-8) and Arizona Cardinals DT Eric Swann (1991-2000). They were discovered playing semi-pro ball. There are a few examples of NFL players playing different sports in college, the most current is San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates who played basketball at Kent State.
