Famous NFLers who ran HS track.
Gale Sayers, O,J.Simpson, Rod Woodson, Eric Dickerson, Adrian Peterson, Marshall Faulk, James Lofton, Hugh "King" McElhenny, Ollie Matson,
But.......tons and tons of NFLers were HS tracksters, talking TONS.
8 or so years ago when I coached track out AD sent an article to all coaches where the Ohio State Football coach at the time said he was reluctant to recruit a football player who didn't run track in high school.
I'm sure the list is endless.
