Did any of your HS classmates make it to the pros?

Kenny Gant of Dallas Cowboy and Tampa Bay Bucs fame. I went to school with him from elementary on up. I’m not talking about we just went to the same school (I could mention Ray Lewis if that was the case) I’m talking an actual friend. He might not be really famous in the big picture, but he made his mark. Google it. He was a very cool low key dude and a great athlete in his day.

They were a few years ahead of me, but 2 notables that I recall off the top of my head.

LB Anthony Simmons

RB Stephen Davis

Watching Davis run track at Spartan High was as impressive as watching him on the football field. He set the SC high school record in the 100 meters, 10.4...at 6-0 215lbs!!!

Not a class mate, but a dear friend - John Hannah. He was nicknamed "Hog" because he dug in an could not be moved. Plus he had arms as long as a gorillas. He played left guard for the New England Patriots as number 13 in the National Football League for 12 years. In 1999 the Sporting News ranked him as the second greatest offensive lineman in NFL history after Anthony Muñoz. John knew how to flatten defensive players, not just knock them down - but knock them out.

Yeah we need to come up with some good slang for DDG. I thought maybe: duck it
