Ran across this article following up on the top 100 high school players from ten years ago and I found it very interesting. Triumph, tragedy, resilience, brokenness. You will see some very familiar names, including one current Bengal who was very high on the list.
Every one of those kids expected to be a star in the NFL. Some of them never even played a college game.
It was jarring to read about how many of those young men were seriously affected by football injuries that still plague them today. I guess we all thought we were invincible at 18.
