Anybody grow up with a future pro?

Has anybody ever played alongside someone who went on to become a pro athlete?  My question is---how much better than everyone else is a future pro?

The best I ever played with seemed pretty good but none of them were anywhere near pro caliber.  I'm just trying to imagine what these kind of guys look like in HS.

I'm thinking mainly football but any sport would be relevant.

I was friends with Andrew Brackman in elementary school at Lakota. He then went to pitch at Moeller and was drafted in the first round by the Yankees.
