Anybody grow up with a future pro?

Alan was a very good athlete in high school, but not dominate in anything. He kept his weight down to wrestle 185 and run track (300H).

He went to Pitt and played nothing but football. He played safety at 195 in high school but gained 30 lbs in college and started a couple of years when Marino had the Panthers in the top 10.

Nothing but aspecial teamer in the NFL, but made some good money for a couple of yeras.

Van was just a freak athlete. He had been a state champion wrestler in high school and signed to play for Clemson. He could not qualify academically so he ended up at Carson Neman. He weighed about 200 and could bench over 400. Back then benching 400 lbs was a big deal.

Mainly a special teamer in the NFL

Compared to Van, Boyce never looked like an NFL player, but he was faster than Van.

Boyce was the Browns leading rusher in 1984.
